## FAQ <a href="#faq" id="faq"></a>

### I connected my domain but it's still not showing me website? <a href="#i-connected-my-domain-but-its-still-not-showing-me-website" id="i-connected-my-domain-but-its-still-not-showing-me-website"></a>

If you followed the instructions on how to connect your own domain but it's still not showing up, there are a few reasons for why it might happen:

1\. Not enough time has passed since you changed your DNS settings. It can take up to 6 hours for DNS settings to be changed at certain domain registrars.

2\. Your DNS settings are not configured properly. There might be old A or CNAME records you need to delete, or you might have entered the wrong details. Double check that.

3\. You entered the wrong domain when you first publish your website. If that's the case, go back to the editor and hit 'Publish'. You'll then see the domain we linked this website to and an option to 'Change' it right below. Click it to change to the right domain.

4\. You have not added the domain name in your Vintcer Dashboard. Make sure to click on Publish button and enter your domain name. Example- [www.yourdomain.com](http://www.yourdomain.com) (without any prefix and space)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vintcer.com/connect-your-own-domain/google-domains-connect-google-domains-to-your-website.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
