Asked by david
i switched off the droplet(server) for a few minutes as i had to do some resizing and then switched it back on , from the shh root it says everything is fine but i cant load up the website…
Is that because the IP address is taking another 24-48 hours to be re-routed to the domain because it was disconnected after switching off the server or?
at the moment i am getting this error on domain diagnosis
‘A’ RECORDS (DOMAIN POINTING)
has ‘A’ no records
MX RECORDS
no ‘MX’ records
i did not change any settings

the status says ok but the name server is on the droplet so?
Hello,
This sounds like a DNS issue rather than an issue with the droplet itself. A droplet restart should not affect your DNS records in any way unless you are actually running a service like Bind and you have your own nameservers on the droplet.
I would recommend running a
whoisfor your domain name and checking the domain status, make sure that the domain name is not with statusOnHoldor similar and that the domain has not expired.Regards, Bobby
