After site upload DNS breaks?!?

Posted on February 9, 2014

I got all the way through the tutorial up to the launch your new site without any trouble at all, the first sigh was when I tried originally to upload to my server via SFTP I was having permission errors (using created used as suggested, root access is blocked entirely as far as I know) so I did the “chown user:user” thing and it worked I could now upload into my /var/www folder. I had a one page site, exported from muse, to go up as a holding page while I develop, so I uploaded it to the folder. Ever since then my domain name does not resolve to my IP address, this was working fine all day prior to upload. SO what could I have uploaded that would have changed my DNS settings or something? If I use my IP address I can get to the one page site that I would expect to get to when going to the domain name. I have no idea what I could have done and the only thing I know how to do is destroy he droplet and start again (getting good at that lol) so please can someone help me?
