DNS Not Resolving After Restoring From Snapshot

Posted January 7, 2015

I restored my server from a snapshot and the DNS is not resolving like it used to. I used to be able to do this in the past.

Is the IP of your new droplet reflected in your updated DNS entries?

Hey there,

If you created a new Droplet based off your snapshot, the new Droplet would receive a new IP address. Your DNS records would need be updated to the new IP address.

Happy coding,
