IP Address not Domain Name in browser address bar

Posted on January 20, 2020

Hello,

I don’t seem to have entered my DNS A, CNAME records correctly. If I visit the site from a Google search the IP address of the droplet stays in the address bar.

If I type ‘csmotors.uk’ into the address bar it is replaced by the IP address. If I type ‘www.csmotors.uk’ into the address bar it is replaced by 'csmotors.uk.

My DNS A record looks like this:

A - csmotors.uk - directs to: 134.209.186.11 - TTL 3600

My DNS CNAME record looks like this:

CNAME - www.csmotors.uk - is an alias of csmotors.uk

It’s almost as if I need an IP address to domain name rule but I can’t seem to add one like that…

Any ideas?

Thank you!

N.
