I installed Wordpress onto Ubuntu 16.04, and have connected the name servers to name cheap and everything, which all seems to be done correctly. Whenever I connect to my website, it redirects to the IP address. What should I do to fix this?

Hi @theisevan
You probably setup WordPress on the IP-address before you added the domain, which means WordPress will save that IP as the root configuration.
You can go to http://162.243.40.146/wp-admin/options-general.php and edit both WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) to http://www.evansdetailing.com
