Heya,

Can you please post your domain’s Apache configuration? It’s either that or your DNS is not configured and your A record is not pointing to your Dropet.

Heya, @faisolbello

You can use https://dnschecker.org and enter blog.yourdomain.com — select A record. It should return your droplet IP.

If it says “not found” or shows old IPs, wait a bit or recheck the DNS record on WhoGoHost.

Regards
