Troubleshooting
Host field appends domain automatically
Host field appends domain automatically
Name.com automatically appends your domain to the host field. Enter only the subdomain part — e.g.,

Using custom nameservers
If your domain uses nameservers other than Name.com’s defaults, manage DNS at your active DNS provider instead.
