i have bought domain from namecheap.com and on namecheap panel -> domain settings i have put my DO vps’s ip address as A Record, ip has been pointed to domain as vc-mp.co.uk but whois on irc returns ip not domain. Help would be appreciated.
Are you referring to the /whois command on IRC? If so, that returned the IP address of the user and not the server.
Simple solution! Just went through the same thing and got a fix for you.
Go and edit the vhost file.
sudo nano /etc/hosts
After you open it you should add this after the 127.0.0.1
0.0.0.0 example.com
And add this after ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
2001:4860:4860::8888 example.com

Then go into the ZNC Web Interface; Go into Your Settings Above the Quit Message you should see BindHost put your domain.
