Website suddenly not responding to the IP anymore

Hello there, my website need both a A and CNAME record in order to work (so people can type the site without the www. My certificate SSL is also made to be with the regular domain name, not the www. This morning, everything stopped working without explaination, DNS Checker says that my site is not responding to the IP or CNAME anymore.

It looks like the DNS for your domain is no longer pointing at PythonAnywhere.

Hello! Here an update, if it can help someone in the future.

My case is most likely an isolated case.

In the morning, somehow, and Alias was setup on my Namecheap account to point the IP back to them. Although the cause is not truly known, it may have been an automation bug on their end related to a custom SSL certificate i bought. If your IP suddenly doesn't point anymore and you still pay for the domain name, ask for support on their end about an Alias not being visible on their dashboard but still set up.

Thank you and sorry for the bothering.
