Custom domain problem

Hello, I have set up my domain but, now when I go to my site through the domain it tells "Comming soon" stuff. I went through all this: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/CustomDomains

and this: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/TroubleshootingDNS/

And it all seems set up correctly, but "Comming soon" still apers when I go to www.mysecretdomain.lt. dig function gives this result:

; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.13-Ubuntu <<>> www.mysecretdomain.lt ;; global options: +cmd

What might be wrong with this?

That's very odd -- it looks like our loadbalancer wasn't configured for your domain. I've never seen that happen before, but there must be a bug that triggered that behaviour. When did you create the website? Did it ever work? If it did, do you know when it started showing the "Coming soon" page? And do you remember doing anything to it recently? It might be some completely innocent but rare set of actions that triggered the bug, so any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thank you for answer! I started creating this website year ago it was always working on default python anywhere domain. This problem only occured after I set domain for it. If I turn back default python anywhere domain it works again.

It does look like it's working at the moment, though -- I should have mentioned earlier that I fixed the misconfiguration that was causing the "Coming soon" page to appear, just before I did my post above.

Oh it started working after few days not doing anything with it. Maybe some things needed to configure them self

Am getting the same 'Coming soon' message when i try to connect to my site after purchasing and configuring my custom domain. Any help will be appreciated

Your web app seems to be working fine and your DNS also appears to be configured correctly. Have you tried reloading that page?

I have done that but still getting the same message. Could it be that the DNS settings for GoDaddy are not right. I mean the Host, points to stuff? I pointed my domain at webapp-***.pythonanywhere.com

The DNS stuff is all OK -- when I go to the website associated with your account, I get prompted for a password, which means that it's pointed at our servers. Are you not getting the password popup?

No

Try this, www.brimumlodge.com. This is the custom domain that i got.

Ok am getting the prompt, but when i enter the password and username am getting a Bad request(400) error
