My custom domain demomanasa.online (and all its subdomains) stopped resolving with
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED for all visitors. I have traced the failure to Appwrite's DNS:
What I verified:
- Registry delegation is intact: the .online TLD still delegates to
ns1.appwrite.zone / ns2.appwrite.zone (confirmed via Google + Cloudflare resolvers).
- Your nameservers are online but return SERVFAIL for my zone specifically.
Cloudflare's resolver reports: "EDE(23): Network Error 129.212.192.196:53 returned
SERVFAIL for demomanasa.online A". Google DNS reports: "Name server failure
[ns1.appwrite.zone.(104.248.103.71), 129.212.192.196]".
- It is NOT a DNSSEC issue: no DS records exist at the registry, and querying with
validation disabled (cd=1) still fails.
- My project config is untouched: all 7 proxy rules for the domain
(demomanasa.online, www, api, plus tenant subdomains lujain, ahmedsaleh,
ahmedgaber-math, test) exist and show status=verified via GET /v1/proxy/rules.
- The site itself is healthy and serving on its appwrite.network domain.
It looks like the DNS zone for demomanasa.online is missing or corrupted on the
Appwrite Cloud DNS backend. Please restore/rebuild the zone.

TL;DR
Custom domain demomanasa.online not resolving for visitors due to Appwrite's DNS nameservers returning SERVFAIL. The issue is specific to the zone and not related to DNSSEC. The user confirmed registry delegation and project settings are correct. The suggestion is to restore/rebuild the DNS zone for demomanasa.online on the Appwrite Cloud DNS backend.
