In the previous articles, we completed the first steps to connect an external domain to your BOX:

Step 1: Activate your Box

Step 2: Add a domain

Step 3: Update A and AAAA records

We will now finalise the connection with one last steps in your Raidboxes account:

Step 4: Check the DNS entries

When you update DNS records, it can take up to 48 hours for the changes to take effect. You may be able to access your site from a mobile device, for example, but not yet from your PC. This is totally normal and you don't need to worry.

The status of your domains is shown in the Domains section of your Box overview. If you see a green tick here, it means your domain has been correctly set up and should resolve properly.

If an orange exclamation mark (!) is displayed instead, it means your domain is either not set up correctly or the changes have not yet taken effect. In this case, you should check the DNS settings again. If you hover over the exclamation mark, you’ll see the reason for the error.

Before you can't see the green checkmark, the domain won't direct traffic correctly.
