Getting custom domain and CNAME to work.

I set up a CNAME for my site politisides.com but for some reason when I go to politisides.com it has a "coming soon!" page. I have tried looking at what people haves said about this on other PythonAnywhere forums but nothing seemed to work (I probably did it wrong). On the configuration page it says, "We were unable to find a CNAME for your domain. Check this help page for more information about how to set it up correctly." even though it all looks good when I use "dig www.politisides.com". Thanks for any help, I am very new to web development. Also I am using Google Domains.

It looks like you've configured your website on the "Web" page as politisides.com, not www.politisides.com. You can use the "pencil" icon next to the site address to edit it and add on the missing www. to the start, and then it should all work fine.

Thank you so much! I can't believe it was that simple!

No problem, glad to help!
