SSL certificates are unavailable

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Seems like this is a common problem or something but I have tried absolutely everything, waited 72 hours, contacted support without response, tried edit things myself and my domain still don't have the SSL certificates. Please help!

SSL certificates are unavailable

These domains are not correctly connected to your Squarespace site. To fix this, use the Website Default preset from the dropdown menu in DNS Settings.

The SSL certificate cannot be created because your domain DNS records aren't correct. You currently have a number of domain 'A' records that point to something other than Squarespace (216.239.36.21). You'll need to delete these in the Domains dashboard under DNS.

If you need more help, please post a screenshot of the DNS records for closertosomewhere.com from your Domains dashboard.

The "A" and "CNAME" records shown in Squarespace Defaults are the minimum that you need for it to work. 

If you want full redundancy, the full set of Squarespace A records are below.

I did as you recommended but I think there is still something wrong

There are now some custom "AAAA" records that weren't in your previous screenshot. These need to be removed too.
