SSH/HTTP: Temporary failure in name resolution/ERR Name Not Resolved when accessing droplet

Posted February 8, 2016 6.7k views
Apache Debian DNS

When accessing my droplet (via SSH or HTTP by domain name) I receive errors regarding failures in name resolution. I have to retry multiple times for my requests to go through.

SSH: ssh: Could not resolve hostname apiify.io: Temporary failure in name resolution
HTTP: Err Name Not Resolved (apache2 web server)

I don’t see anything wrong with my domain or DNS settings. I use namecheap name servers.

A Record    @ 159.203.9.131
A Record    api 159.203.9.131
A Record    doc 159.203.9.131
A Record    www 159.203.9.131

Any help is appreciated.

This will be something to bring up with NameCheap, as your domain works just fine.
