Domain redirects to databases.000webhost.com

I have changed my site domain from myphone.000webhostapp.com to myphone.pp.ua with cloudflare. All was working great but today i have clicked MANAGE DATABASE button in cpanel and after that when i’m trying to go to myphone.pp.ua, page redirecting me to https://databases.000webhost.com/. I wasn’t changing anything (no cpanel or cloudflare changes). So all that i have done clicked on the MANAGE DATABASE button.

P.S. Now I have reset my domain to the default and when I’m trying to change domain back to the myphone.pp.ua (from cpanel) it’s popups that “domains myphone.pp.ua CNAME must be poined to myphone.000webhostapp.com”. WHY 000webhost don’t see CNAME on cloudflare ???

P.S.S My domain pointed to the cloudflare nameservers. And on cloudflare I have this settings:
CNAME myphone.pp.ua is an alias of myphone.000webhostapp.com
CNAME www is an alias of myphone.000webhostapp.com

AND pagerule:
.myphone.pp.ua/ forward (301 - permament redirect) to http://myphone.pp.ua/

have you added myphone.pp.ua to 000webhost panel? 000webhost must be informed that you want to use this domain.

Also DNS changes are not instant.

As i have desribed : it popups that “domains myphone.pp.ua CNAME must be poined to myphone.000webhostapp.com

but before today all was working great.

I don’t really understand why domain redirects to https://databases.000webhost.com/ but not to default domain.

take a look at this screenshot. There are 2 domains. One is mine another is yours. Your DNS server does not have CNAME record. I am using http://mxtoolbox.com/

This is my cloudflare:

This my domain on nic.ua:

Same issue here. My website also got redirected to databases.000webhost.com. And what I can conclude is that it’s not a domain name issue.

I’ve created a simple website on 000webhost about 11 hours ago, and first what I’ve done is pointed CNAME record of my domain name to it. I’ve uploaded just one simple index.html file to test the domain name resolving, and after several hours while I was sleeping it began to work, and it worked stable.

But troubles began when I’ve uploaded my Opencart project and created the database about 1.5 hours ago. I could see my project working only once, then website wasn’t responding for 5-10 minutes, and then redirects began.

So the issue is related to creating a database. Probably you can make a dump of your DB, than drop it and create a new one.

I have not even created a database.

ok, i will talk to ops to take a deeper look into this

@astro i have checked your website uber... . First of all it is awesome and looks great. But according to our TOS your website is too big and too resourse heavy for free hosting. I would suggest you to move to paid hosting.

Regarding redirect to databases.000webhost.com i am still not able to reproduce this issue. Do you receive this redirect only with your domain? This never happens with .000webhostapp.com right?

Yep, redirect only on my domain. And this never happens with .000webhostapp.com. And I’m still don’t see CNAME record on my domain.

@elpax you cloudlfare config is correct and i do not see any issue in your provided screenshot. but it is strange that cloudflare does not repond with dig +short CNAME www.myphone.pp.ua

but this is cloudflare dns issue not 000webhost

I have changed my site domain from myphone.000webhostapp.com to myphone.pp.ua with cloudflare. All was working great but today i have clicked MANAGE DATABASE button in cpanel and after that when i’m trying to go to myphone.pp.ua, page redirecting me to https://databases.000webhost.com/1. I wasn’t changing anything (no cpanel or cloudflare changes). So all that i have done clicked on the MANAGE DATABASE button.

Thank you for quick support, didn’t expect it to be heavy according to stats.

But I suppose Opencart produces too much DB connections so I’ll consider moving when the project will be production ready.

yeah, this page does not show CPU, RAM, IO, DB details.
We are not going to add these to this dashboard because this information is too complicated for casual 000webhost customer.

we have found an issue with redirects to databases.000webhost.com

it was due to double ip pools and cache invalidations. now we have resynced and the issue is gone

@elpax your website works fine for me. It may be browser cache. Check with web proxy or other browser.
