Recently, I opened an unmanaged vps account with a2hosting.
I have installed webuzo on my account to manage it.

To proceed, I added an addon domain in my hosting account and updated the DNS entries in my namecheap account for the said domain. I updated the nameservers as what I received in the welcome mail from a2hosting.

I have also set up an A record as well as www record for my server ip address in the namecheap account for the said domain.

But it's been more than 72 hours now and I still can't see the default web page on the said domain. I could see a park page again and again.

It's been three long chat sessions with namecheap and according to them, nameservers are setup properly for the said domain as it is verified by whois lookup and related stuff.

When I opened up a ticket to webuzo support, they say that they can proceed with trouble shooting the issue only when the domain propagation is complete.

Now, first thing is that what would be the exact issue for why I can't see the default page on the said domain.

And second thing is how to proceed to resolve this issue?

Could you please guide me on this issue.

Thanking you,

To resolve this type of issue, the first step is to bypass DNS altogether. You can configure your own computer to use a specific IP address for any domain name. To do so, you just need to edit your /etc/hosts file (or hosts.txt on Windows) with a line like:

123.123.123.123 example.com


Then when you visit example.com in your web browser it will use the IP address 123.123.123.123 for it, regardless of what the DNS servers say. This way you can tell for sure whether it is a DNS issue, or whether it is a server configuration issue.
