Cannot get domain name to point to my Digital Ocean Wordpress IP Address
I’m having a problem pointing my digital ocean Wordpress droplet to a domain name I have. I’ve already been through this tutorial https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean and at the moment:
test.dumontocdhelp.com ,
www.dumontocdhelp.com ,
or anything else before .dumontocdhelp.com will redirect to my
droplet’s ip address [ http://45.55.244.247 ].
However If I try dumontocdhelp.com i get redirected to https://dumontocdhelp.com/ which gives me an error page that says
This site can’t be reached
dumontocdhelp.com refused to connect.
Not sure if it has something to do with the https, any help would be great.
** Also yes I did make an A record to also connect my IP to a domain name with nothing before it for dumontocdhelp.com *

Hi! I’m able to load your website using https://dumontocdhelp.com/—have you managed to fix the issue?
no, but I simply destroyed my droplet and used somewhere else to host the site because I was in a time crunch, still have no idea how to fix the problem.
