如何将在name.com上购买的域名与herokuapp连接起来？

Question

I bought my domain on Name.com I got my App on heroku.

On heroku added a new "custom domain":

Domain Name      DNS Target
mydomain.com     mydomain.com.herokudns.com

and on the info bubble on heroku it says:

Supply this to your DNS provider for the destination of CNAME or ALIAS records.

So I do under Name.com:

On the menu point "DNS Records":

Type    Host        Answer                        TTL   
CNAME   *           mydomain.com.herokudns.com    300

On the menu point "Nameserver":

ns1.name.com
ns2.name.com
ns3.name.com
ns4.name.com

Waited 3 days and it didn't work. So I deleted the Nameservers => didn't work.

Tried to change the "Answer" under "DNS Records" to: "myApp.herokuapp.com" ( like here mentioned )

But I don't think this will work. So, how to make this work?

Answer 1

It needs to point to yourapp.herokuapp.com and you'll need to map www to the Host field.

In order to point your root domain, ie yourdomain.com to the Heroku app, you'll need to use a DNS service that allows CNAME flattening like CloudFlare.
