I have another question about this tutorial. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-host-name-with-digitalocean
Down the bottom it says to ping your domain name. So I tried ping www.mydomainname.com.au and I got a request time out. Then I tried pinging my server ip address and that didn’t work either. Could this be because I have set up my iptables to only accept port 22 and port 80? Or would this be happening for some other reason?

@davidsullivan19 : you have to use an IPtables rule like :
-A INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type 8 -j ACCEPT

One of the first things to try and probably the simplest one is checking whether there isn’t any invalid route in the routing table on your local computer. It’s especially an issue if you use VPN by IP address through different networks and locations. You can try flushing all routes using this command:
route -n flush
do this a few times and then turn your network card (wifi or ethernet) off and on again.
Is your Server “active”, do you changed the DNS Config ?
