Use domain with VPS?

DestroyeRCo

So f*ckin' noob.

This is my question: how to use my domain with my VPS?

Use it for my wordpress site using nginx, and for icecast.

Cirium

Just like any other website, forward the domain to the VPS IP.

Just point it from the registrar to your vps ip. What is your registrar?

DestroyeRCo

registered it with buddyhost, how many time it will take to propagate?

The domain is okamiradio.asia

Should I put an "A" record to my VPS Ip, and nothing else?

ErawanArifNugroho

Sometimes it could tak up to 48 hours or more. But with NameCheap, I only took less than 30 minutes ( usually just 5 minutes now)

Yes. I'm not sure how it works with buddyhost, but for name.com you just use [blank] or * for the root domain.

jcaleb

yes just A record of okamiradio.asia.

Randy

yes, set a A Record of your VPS IP to your domain it will work, ask your registrar if you are unsure

DestroyeRCo

Well, thank you guys, I'll wait until tonight. Already put the A record :)

jcaleb

you can edit your hosts file so u can test ur site rightaway

You might also want to add a CNAME that points www.okamiradio.asia to okamiradio.asia

it dose much faster at times 30 minutes should do. ) use @jcaleb's advice and edit your host file :) so you can view your site:)

I'm using cloudflare as dns usually propagate within a minute.

cosmicgate

What about if I have 2 websites using ip A of vps and the 3rd website I use ip B?

How do I set that up?

budingyun

Point first 2 website to ip A and point third website to ip B. Use A record.

You haven't set name servers yet on your registrar.

@budingyun : I mean on apache. Do I have to run 2 instances of httpd?

Name based Virtual hosts

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html

cosmicgate

@telephone : named based is only for multiple websites on same ip. My tearoom was can I mix namebased and ipbased vhosts on 1 httpd daemon.

budingyun

Use nginx + php-fpm, easier to setup for me.

DestroyeRCo

Cloudflare says: okamiradio.asia is not a registered domain. Wtf?

At Dns setup what should i put if cloudflare isnt working?

Taz

ping okamiradio.asia Ping request could not find host okamiradio.asia. Please check the name and try again.

tridinebandim

maybe cloudflare doesnt support .asia tld...
