DNS delegation errors are kind of rare. There are so many configuration errors in web deployment, and the most common errors I see which causes websites to be inaccessible are misconfigured certificates where:
• You get the default certificate for the web server rather than the correct one for the vhost.
• You have a redirect from www->bare or bare->www and the redirect vhost don't have a certificate.
• The certificate don't include the www subdomain name.
• A wild card certificate doesn't include the bare name.
• There are multiple web servers listed in DNS but only a subset has a correct HTTPS configuration.
