Gotchas at Porkbun

  • Leaving Host blank means the root domain — Porkbun does not use @.
  • New domains get a Porkbun parking page ALIAS record; delete it before pointing elsewhere.
  • Porkbun supports ALIAS records, which is a handy way to point a root domain at a hostname.

After you save

DNS changes are not instant. Resolvers keep the old answer until the previous record's TTL expires, so a record with a 4-hour TTL can take 4 hours to change everywhere — occasionally longer if an ISP ignores TTLs. Check what the world currently sees before assuming something is broken, and see the troubleshooting page if it still looks wrong after the TTL has passed.
