Acquired new site, made changes, trying to apply for monetization.

Hi, I acquire this site and have made lots of changes but when I tried to signup on Ezoic and verified ownership of this domain and it got transferred to my account. The thing is, it shows the site is not approved.

Could you please recheck once from your side and help me out to pass through the next steps.

GloryYogesh When checking on your site, this is what shows up on our side (see attached image). We would first suggest that you try and get this resolved so that our team can review and look over the site.

Once I change it back from Ezoic nameservers this error comes up Variant Also Negotiates and getting below mentioned error in the dashboard.

Issue with DNS Records. The Cloudflare app requires changing your DNS \"cdn-0\" record from A record to a CNAME record. However, it is unable to do so because you have multiple records with that hostname of types \"A\". If you would like to use Cloudflare for your site, please delete the other records

I have not enabled cloudfare for this site. Please check once.

Hi there,
It seems that the IP's your site is currently pointing to from within Ezoic are incorrect, this means that Ezoic is not able to fetch your site from your host, resulting in an error.
Can you please reach out to your host to confirm the correct IP for your site, once they have provided this, you will need to update the DNS records held within Ezoic.
Please note that if your host provides the IP addresses that are currently held at Ezoic, these are incorrect as they are Ezoic IP addresses, and are therefore unable to serve your site.

Here is a resource you can share with your hosting company's support team, see below:

What are the benefits of integrating via nameservers (connecting with Ezoic's CDN)?

Sometimes hosts use a third party tool online to detect the DNS records of a publisher's site (if you google "DNS checker" you'll find hundreds if not thousands of sites). Unfortunately, these tools rely on making requests to the site and the information they return is often incorrect because they don't take into account the impact of a proxy such as Ezoic, which sits in between the host and the user, meaning that our IP address is displayed rather than the server IP of the host. Because they also see Ezoic as the name server provider, they mistakenly take that to mean we are now the "host". Essentially, it's a genuine mistake and happens often, which is why we encourage publishers to share the information about the proxy set up and how your hosting is not effected (and therefore your 'master' DNS Records are untouched as well).

When we "update" your DNS Records here at Ezoic, we are just making sure that our copy matches exactly the master DNS records to ensure that there are no mistakes during the proxy process, and your visitors reach your site and content without error. The origin IP address for your site will not be changed or appended by us - we would simply match that record here at Ezoic to make sure the proxy is maintained.

To update your DNS records held at Ezoic, you will need to:

Take your Hosts DNS records (https://support.ezoic.com/kb/article/where-to-find-dns-records-zone-files-at-your-host) and locate the A, CNAME, MX and TXT records. (You do not edit/change these, they are simply the master copy of the DNS used for reference when changing the Ezoic DNS)
2.Then, access the Ezoic DNS (https://support.ezoic.com/kb/article/how-to-update-add-dns-records-and-subdomains) and make sure there are exact copies of the Hosts' A, CNAME, MX and TXT records showing with Ezoic DNS. -- If they don't exist, create new ones. -- If they already exist, but have incorrect values, update the existing records (hit the pencil icon next to the record).

Could you please guide me in the right direction on whom to contact to get this resolved?

Domain registrar or my previous hosting provided where I had this site hosted before - because I have check with both of them and as the nameservers are pointed to ezoic nameservers, they say the DNS has to be updated here.

I have deleted few records from the DNS settings within Ezoic and now the error is not showing in the dashboard but the site url when accessed, it is still showing Variant Also Negotiates,

A proper step by step guidance would be helpful and there's no further options showing up in ezoic dashboard to resubmit the site for approval process.

GloryYogesh

Please ignore the previous response. The issue has been resolved and now the site is live without any issue after updating the ip address of hosting in DNS record.

Now please help me with the further process to submit site for approval.

GloryYogesh We're now seeing the site functioning. We'll reach out to our team to have them check on the site for review.

Thanks, Jean. Waiting for your update
