Sub-domains on Multisite stopped working

Please post links to your domain and a subdomain.

Please post links to your domain and a subdomain.

Main site link: moviechalo.com

currently you will see a maintenance page, as I have activated wp-maintenance plugin for that

Sub-domain link: testing.moviechalo.com

I have previously worked with subdomains and multisite, this is first time it happened.

It appears that you may need to add your wildcard DNS record. I checked your DNS records at https://who.is/dns/moviechalo.com and only saw one A record.

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Configuring_Wildcard_Subdomains

I checked in my cPanel, I also have this A record.

*.moviechalo.com. 14400 IN A 192.254.233.216

And the link you provided, I had checked it before and as mentioned for cPanel, I created one subdomain as *.moviechalo.com and it is pointing to the right location.
My other DNS entries have the name ‘moviechalo.com’, only this record is using the IP address, the rest are using the domain name. Can it be an issue?

And I am wondering, if this was the case, why did it work perfectly the last night?

Or can it be a just a DNS propagating issue? But still the same question, how come did it work earlier!

You also need a dedicated IP address. Is 192.254.233.216 your dedicated IP address?

I am not sure what a dedicated IP address is! But yes, this is the only IP address I see in my cPanel account information section. So, I guess, this must be the address!

??

I looked into it some more. It is not a dedicated IP address. If you go to the IP address you should be able to see your website (https://192.254.233.216), but you don’t. For example, my multisite’s dedicated IP address is 192.241.248.165. If you browse to it (https://192.241.248.165) you will end up at https://wpnitro.com.

Your IP address is likely associated with a shared hosting server at Hostgator. You can contact their support department and add an IP address to your account. I’ve done that with them before and they charged me $1/month for it.

You also need a dedicated IP address. Is 192.254.233.216 your dedicated IP address?

Since when? Is that a Hostgator rule?

My apologies. You’re totally right, Ipstenu. I had domain mapping on the brain for some reason.

I just checked and it looks like the wildcard domain is configured correctly now from a DNS standpoint. However, the site appears to be suspended at the moment so we can’t look at the subdomain to see if it’s working.

You can domain map without a static IP too, depending on the host ?? Only thing you MUST have it for is SSL, and that’s not even true all the time anymore.

Thank you all for your quick responses and time that you put in. But as I suspected, it must be just a DNS propagation issue I guess.
I am now able to access my sub-domain as well: testing.moviechalo.com
