Showing IP address in Address bar and not Domain Name

Posted on October 9, 2013

Hi Friends,

I created a droplet and updated the A record with the IP address at my Domain controller.

I do not want to switch the name server as my emails are running there only want the website to be runn on droplet.

Update was done and not website is showing IP address in address bar and not Domain name.

I have another droplet as well where i updated Name servers and there is not issue but in this case its not working.

In DNS on Digital Ocean

I have A Record @ to point to IP address

A @ 192.1.1.1

I also created one more A record domainname.com - IP address

and Created CNAME like

www - @

    • @

This is still showing IP address. Please help on this. This is really URGENT.
