Hi @Teecruz,

There are 3 possibilities in such situations.

The first possibility is the propagation of DNS. DNS can take up to 48 hours to propagate. That’s the most common thing people think it’s an issue but they just have to wait. Anyway, if you’ve passed these 48 hours let’s go to the next one.

The second possibility is for you to not have added the proper Nameservers or added your domain. In order to manage your DNS with DigitalOcean, you need to change your Nameservers of your domain with your registrar(where you registered the droplet). Once you change the Nameservers to

• ns1.digitalocean.com
• ns2.digitalocean.com
• ns3.digitalocean.com

If you are unsure how to change your nameservers from your registrar, you can check the following DigitalOcean tutorial:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-point-to-digitalocean-nameservers-from-common-domain-registrars

Next, after you’ve changed the Nameserevers is to add your domain to DigitalOcean. To add it, go to your Control Panel, click on the Create Button, and select Domain. Then you start adding your DNS.

The third possibility is related to problems with the DNS. They are usually seen when something hasn’t been configured properly. IN such cases, I recommend checking the following website to see –> https://www.whatsmydns.net/

Hello @Teecruz

You might have to confirm that your domain is resolving to the Droplet IP address by running dig command:

dig domain.com

Once you confirm the domain name is resolving to Droplet IP address then you have to update the virtual host entry in webserver configuration file (such as apache or nginx).

If the issue persists then please contact support along with the domain and steps you followed to troubleshoot this issue.
