Using Porkbun for DNS and custom domain

I don’t know if this technically qualifies as a third party topic, but I’m trying to set up my custom domain/subdomain so bought the one I wanted from porkbun; I paid the 6.50 to nabu casa and thought I edited the DNS entry correctly, but I cannot get it to validate. Has anyone done this successfully who could point me in the right direction? I don’t know if I need some kind of hosting or something but literally just bought the domain for this purpose. I appreciate any and all advice.

I seem to be having the same exact issue and have tried a few different subdomains but no luck. Cannot get it to validate on the home assistant cloud page

Maybe a recent issue? All three posts are in the past 2 weeks.
Same for me right now but I can’t imagine we are the only three people using porkbun for this…
The domain validates just fine for me but the acme challenge keeps failing.

so after some time I was able to get things to work correctly, rather than copy from the domain provider I manually typed in what was supposed to be there and it worked eventually. Not sure if that will help you or not.
