What is the issue you’re encountering
Hi I purchased a domain from Cloudflare’s registrar. I would like this domain name to direct to a server that I have running on a Linode VPS. I am noob and can’t figure out how to do this.
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
In the Cloudflare dashboard, I went to Manage Domain > Update DNS Configuration and created an A record. I sent the A record’s name to @ and used the IPv4 provided by my VPS. It’s been several days and command nslookup still fails.
I also tried going to the Linode dashboard and creating a Domain Zone. But I really have no idea what I’m doing. The nameservers listed are ns1.linode.com/etc. I suspect I’m only making things worse.
I want to transfer my domain name to a different registrar, as it looks like Hover/NameCheap/etc. would simply let me point my domain’s nameservers to ns1.linode.com/etc., and the DNS resolution would work within 48 hours. However, it looks like I have to wait 60 days before I can do something like that. I am looking to deploy my app to the web ASAP.
What feature, service or problem is this related to?
