VPS hosting DNS issue

Question

I bought a VPS hosting and a domain name . I have linked the domain name and nameservers of the VPS. But I am not able to access my website through the domainname. I was able to access it through the IP address. I have a basic html page deployed to the Apache server on the VPS machine.

Actually i installed a webmin CPanel in the CentOS 7 based VPS. I created two nameservers(ns1.mydomainname.in and ns2.mydomainname.in) using the cpanel and I have set the domain nameservers to these nameservers that I have created.

But all terminal requests like PING NSLOOKUP are failing. Can't figureout why. I am new to VPS hosting. All I have been using so far are the shared hosting and cloud services. Please help me to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Maybe your DNS server configurations or hostname is not working as it should. The easies fix for me would be using CouldFlare.com DNS and there set A records to your server.

But if not try to check if your DNS records applied to the domain with whois etc. Then check if your BIND i think server is working as it should the easiest will be to check domain with other name server like CF.

Answer 2

After creating the name servers you need to register them at your domain registrar end in order to make them active .

So login to your domain registrar provider and register your name servers there , if you are not aware of it then contact the support of the domain registrar and they will do it for you. After which you should see your website working.
