Hi there,
Usually once you make a DNS change it can take up to 24 hours before you can see the new records.
I’ve just tested your website and it seems like that it is loading correct, however it is redirecting to your server IP address.
This is most likely caused by your WordPress site and home URLs. You can change your WordPress site and home URLs by editing your
wp-config.php
file and adding the following lines:Also make sure to update any redirects that you have in your Apache virtual host that might be causing that redirect.
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
