My VPS host (rosehosting) sold me a domain name, but I can't get it to work
- by Faisal Vali
My VPS host (rosehosting) sold me a domain name, but I can’t get it to work.
They sent me an email with the following (almost a month ago)
DNS Servers (unless you ordered your own DNS servers):
ns1.rosehosting.com (216.114.78.148)
ns2.rosehosting.com (216.114.78.155)
Operating System: Ubuntu 9.04
Domain Name: mytestdomainfv.com
Host Name: mytestdomainfv.com
IP Address: ....
Physical Host Name: Vs####.rosehosting.com
When I type in the Physical Host Name or the IP from a remote computer I get connected to my VPS. But when i type 'mytestdomainfv.com' the name is never resolved, and it has been a month now. I thought that they would configure it so that it would, but it seems that they haven't.
Does anyone know how I can get 'mytestdomainfv.com' to point to my VPS?
I looked at some of the other similar questions, but they talk about forwarding GoDaddy domain names - so I'm not sure if it applies - but then again, it might just be my naivete.
Any direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
p.s mytestdomainfv.com is not the real domain name
