🐞 HTTPS 421 on app.domain-test.com
📌 Context
I'm trying to configure app.domain-test.com as a custom domain for a static site on Appwrite.
- DNS managed via Cloudflare (proxy disabled, DNS only).
- Root domain
domain-test.comstays on Cloudflare. - Delegated subdomain
app.domain-test.comto Appwrite via NS records at registrar.
✅ Current DNS Setup
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CAA | domain-test.com | 0 issue "certainly.com" |
| CNAME | app.domain-test.com | appwrite.network |
| NS | app.domain-test.com | ns1.appwrite.zone |
| NS | app.domain-test.com | ns2.appwrite.zone |
🔍 Tests Done
- ✅ DNS resolves correctly to
appwrite.network - ✅ Domain added as Site in Appwrite Console
- ❌ Browser shows:
421 Misdirected Request - ⏳ SSL not issued after 1+ hour
- ❌ Full root domain delegation not possible due to Cloudflare restrictions
🙏 Request
Can Appwrite support SSL for delegated subdomains via NS records only (e.g. app.domain-test.com) without needing full root domain control?
Thanks!

DNS setup is correct but SSL not issued after a significant wait. Requesting Appwrite support for SSL on delegated subdomains via NS records without full root domain control.
Solution: Unfortunately, Appwrite does not currently support SSL for subdomains via NS records only. The full root domain control is required for SSL issuance on Appwrite.
