Even though I am not familiar with any of those service providers I would suggest to:


Check you DNS A records and make sure (even if you already are sure) that they point to the IP of the vps/machine you wanna make use of.
If those are set up correctly, check your vps's server's configuration settings for the default host and any possible redirects for yourdomain.com.
If the above are set correctly, contact the registrar and ask for help.

If the change had worked before, I would contact your registrar to find out why it reverted back. I, for example, use 123-reg to buy my domains and administrate them, but the domain names use 6sync.net for the DNS. I did have an issue with a domain name and it turned out a DNS record was wrong on the domain name which they then changed for me (I never asked them to, which was quite nice).

While you register your domain name through a registrar they do have access to change your DNS (and other records) without you knowing.

It would be handy to know how long it was working for too, if it was longer than 24 hours then I would contact your registrar. Otherwise I'd wait to see if it propagates. Then call them.

A very similar thing just happened to me. I'm guessing there was a delay in the DNS changes I made. Give it 24hr if you can wait and see if the problem still exists.
