So I’m running an Ubuntu Ubuntu 12.04.4 x64 droplet ad I’ve installed the latest Zpanel on it. It’s a cheapo $5 one but I’m new to VPS and I really wanted to to play around with it and learn.
I’ve set up my first droplet and I’ve pointed the nameservers on Namecheap to Digital Oceans and I’ve added the domain into both zpanel and the Digital Ocean interface. I’ve configured the ftp account and I’ve put the index.html file into /public_html/domain_com but it still doesn’t show up when I go to the domain.
Does anyone have any idea what I could possibly be doing wrong?

Hi!
Sounds like you’ve done everything right. Are you still not reaching your site when you enter the domain name? Sometimes it can take DNS changes a while to propagate.
