<![CDATA[How do I activate SSL on my host site?]]>I'm getting this message in appdrag when I click the Main domain & SSL feature:
SSL Status:

You need to add this CNAME in your domain provider to validate the SSL certificate
CNAME Key: _d561c9638c05688b1795fa9aa1bd438d
CNAME value: _3e06a47c5dda9fa14e0778be51a41984.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws.

I put this entry in my domain provider:

Value:
_3e06a47c5dda9fa14e0778be51a41984.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws.

I still get the error in Appdrag. How do I fix it?

or we offer a free email forwarding service: https://support.appdrag.com/doc/Email-Redirections

Now that the domain is hosted by appdrag.
How do I recover the 3 email accounts that were on it?

I'll let you know how it goes.

I can see it's not done currently here:
https://dnschecker.org/#CNAME/www.swaysmarts.com

I did that.

Now, I'm getting contradictory follow up instructions from the panel.

  1. I get this instruction:
    cloudfront.jpg image url)

  2. I add that DNS entry at my registrar.

  3. I get an appdrag message saying cloudfront is outdated and I should be using a different DNS entry.

and there select the new domain

I tried

  • deleting toolk.it.com
  • adding the CName record
    CNAME Key: _d561c9638c05688b1795fa9aa1bd438d
    CNAME value: _3e06a47c5dda9fa14e0778be51a41984.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws.

But that just turned the status button red for swaysmarts

I successfully added swaysmarts.com
added swaysmarts.jpg

If it's a domain you have with another registrar you can follow this guide:

From toolk.it.com
To swaysmarts.com

How and where would I do that?

Thanks!

I thought it might simplify matters to transfer my domain to appdrag.
I'm getting this
domain not available for transfer.jpg

I've spent about 2 1/2 hours in chat with Namecheap trying to get this work.
And I'm having no luck. I'm trying to go back to basics and I'm getting this error on appdrag.

or go back to step 1, fix your DNS CAA record
https://dnschecker.org/#CAA/toolk.it.com

for that please ask help to your registrar, or migrate to Cloudflare they will handle your nameservers

OK, toolk.it.com is up and discoverable, I believe.
I'm not sure where the SSL is coming from. I have SSL from Namecheap.
Should I be using that?

]]>https://community.appdrag.com/post/5300https://community.appdrag.com/post/5300Mon, 28 Apr 2025 04:25:31 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to How do I activate SSL on my host site? on Sun, 27 Apr 2025 22:31:37 GMT]]>@joseph-benguira , if this issue comes down to - who provides SSL for my website
why don't I just use SSL from NameCheap? They give me SSL when I buy a domain.

Questions:

  1. Can I turn on the SSL at Namecheap and use that even though they won't be hosting my website?
  2. If I do turn on the SSL at NameCheap, can I still use connect to Appdrag?
  3. If I'm not using SSL from Amazon, then
    Do I still need the CNAME record for AWS?
    Do I still need the CAA Records?

Only the registrar can help with that.

Another option is to use cloudflare:

I check it every day, a couple of times a day.
What's my next step?
How do I get it to propagate?
