(I'm a web dev newbie. Apologies if I don't get something that might be immediately obvious to the more experienced of you!)

I have a domain (let's call it xyz.co.uk) hosted on SiteGround. The site hosting has also been with SiteGround, but I have today transferred it to PythonAnywhere. I will preface by saying I am aware changes can take up to and over a day, but I just want to check that what I've done so far is correct.

I have named the web app "www.xyz.co.uk", from what I understood in the tutorial, given my purchased naked domain is "xyz.co.uk". For the CNAME record on SiteGround, I have "Name: www.xyz.co.uk" and "Value (or Data): webapp-XXXX.eu.pythonanywhere.com" (XXXX being my provided number code). This has replaced the A record previously in place for the www. I believe I have done this part correctly, as I no longer have any warnings regarding my DNS on the Web tab. I still have an A record containing Name:xyz.co.uk and Value: [SiteGround's IP] (though I assume this record needs to persist as is, as it's to do with the hosting of my domain itself, yes?), and various other A records like "ssh", "ftp" & "localhost" (.xyz.co.uk) pointed to SiteGround's IP.

For additional context, the old SiteGround website is still displayed, despite all the files being deleted, and I can't load PythonAnywhere's error log (it just sits on a white screen). The latter of the issues makes me think I've done something wrong (and if my page doesn't update by tomorrow, the former definitely).

Never mind, all good now

Ok
