Hello,
This is my first time using DigitalOcean after years of shared hosting - so please bear with me!
My domain (teachingwine.com) is with NameCheap. I have the DNS pointing to dns1.digitalocean, etc., etc.
I have created the domain in the DO control panel.
I also updated the records in the control panel to the following:
A = 159.65.222.70.teachingwine.com redirect to 159.65.222.70
CNAME = www.teachingwine.com is an alias of teachingwine.com
However, when you go to the website, you get a “server IP address could not be found error.”
I am at a loss here and really hope somebody can help.
Thanks!

“159.65.222.70.teachingwine.com redirect to 159.65.222.70”
Is that actually what the A record says?
Is should be just “teachingwine.com” redirecting to 159.65.222.70.
Edit: I’m actually able to connect to your site at “teachingwine.com” with no issues. If you haven’t changed anything since posting, it’s possible it’s just a DNS propagation issue that should sort itself out soon.
I am also getting the same issue. And worst part is DO’s support team… they don’t offer chat or calling support.
