I registered a new domain, changed its nameservers to point to DO’s. I went to my control panel, added a new domain: maghnatis.com
Now when I goto http://maghnatis.com the site redirects to the IP address. How can I keep it pointing to the domain name?
And when I goto http://www.maghnatis.com (notice www.) it gives: Server not found

What web server do you have installed on your droplet? <br> <br>Also, did you create a CNAME “www” with host “@”?
What control panel are you using? Please pastebin your virtualhost config. <br> <br>As for www., dd the following CNAME record to your domain: <br> <br>www CNAME @
I am not using a control panel. I installed Python, Postgers and Cassandra manually to run my site. <br>I’m afraid of installing a webserver with a control panel because I don’t want that to erase the site I have uploaded. I would like to keep my IP address and domain name pointing to /home/mysite <br> <br>And no I did not add “www” after the “@”. There’s an “@” on the DNS page but it says “A” not “CNAME”
