Can't verify my Dynadot domain with Deno Deploy
I can't add a
CNAME record because then it complains that a domain cannot have both A records and CNAME records at the same time (see image). And I'm not sure where in the form should I put the _acme-challenge string...

When setting a dns domain you map a name (your domain) to :
Another name (CNAME)
or
An Ipv4/6 (A or/and AAAA)
So you have to chose between the two or create a subdomain
For the acme challenge string it refers to a subdomain with the _acme-challenge prefix so _acme-challenge.yourdomain
For exemple for www.yourdomain to redirect to just yourdomain you create a CNAME rule from www to yourdomain
For exemple
In cloudflare
Ok thank you very much @Enderclem ! This helped me validate my domain. I think part of the problem is that Dynadot's form doesn't have a
NAME field so everyone following instructions (but do not know much about this like myself) expect a name field, but then the form doesn't have it, and it's confusing... For reference this (see image) is what I did that ended up doing and then domain validation worked: Add the top A/AAAA records like the Deno Deploy page tells you to do (discarding the @ entirely) then add a CNAME subdomain with _acme-challenge in the Subdomains section of the form.
Glad you got it sorted out
