To check your DNS records, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatsmydns.net\/\">https:\/\/www.whatsmydns.net\/<\/a> and enter your <strong>domain name<\/strong>, then select <strong>A record<\/strong> on the right-hand side <strong>drop box<\/strong>. This will show the status of your DNS changes through nameservers. If everything is ok you should see all of them coming back with the IP <strong>23.227.38.65 <\/strong>(Shopify\u00b4s IP address).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If after checking all of this, the message still appears, just wait at least<strong> 24 hours<\/strong> until your DNS correctly updates after changing domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these steps, you\u00b4re sure to find a solution to this problem and have your site secure and back on track in no time.
