Your link only has IPv6 records but the www. subdomain has IPv4.



Hey. What will that mean exactly? DNS is through Cloudflare using their magical CNAME pointer. Can you access OK?


I see IPv4 A records. I am guessing what's happening is that when you look up the DNS over IPv6, it gives you AAAA records instead of A records. Or, it can depend on locality. Cloudflare is not a DNS provider that gives the same answer to everyone -- its goal is to direct traffic to the cache that's closest to the end user.

Edit: I looked into it more and I can get IPv6 and IPv4 DNS servers to serve me both A and AAAA records. The site is now down, however :)


Thanks for checking. Much appreciated.

Yeah I banked too much on Cloudflare... I've ramped up its dyno a bit now too. Hopefully that'll keep it up!


At the time, the non-www subdomain only had IPv6 and I'm not running dual stack. They now look identical.


It meant that anyone not using IPv6 or a dual stack provider wouldn't be able to view the site through the non-www domain. However, they look identical now, so you're good.
