Question

How to bind IP address to domain?

Hi, I can add domain to my dropplet using virtual host, but how can I point my IP address to the domain, let’s say my domain is example.com, my IP address 111.111.111.111, now what I want is if I put 111.111.111.111 on browser, it will open example.com.

Thanks

Hi @MrWorldWideWeb

Create another VirtualHost for your IP and redirect to your domain:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName 111.111.111.111
  Redirect permanent / http://example.com/
</VirtualHost>

I have the opposite issue, the droplet IP shows one of the site not the default one ;)

It seems I work it out, by creating virtual host with that IP address as a name, and example.com as the alias, pointing the same directory as example.com.
