I recently bought a domain name from GoDaddy. I have a web server running in Google Cloud with a static IP. In the DNS configuration in GoDaddy, I added an A record (@ -> To the static IP of the Google Cloud server) and also a CNAME record for www to point to @ .

When I go to my_domain_name.com (or my_domain_name.com), I can see my website with no issues. However, the browser shows the IP address instead of my_domain_name.com. Almost all posts on the internet suggest that I add an A record, which is already added in my case.

Update:

Here is what I get when I issue curl -I mydomain.com:

And this is the content of my .htaccessfile.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
