Wait I don’t understand how changing your CNAME to A records resolved your problem. Did your wife’s computer simply not resolve the CNAME records?

Interesting. In my country most people rent so typically if you can afford to buy or build a house you plan to live in there until you die. Sure sometimes circumstances change but the concept of owninc a starter home is completely alien to me.

How often are you planning on selling a house though? Don’t you plan to live in it forever?
