Configure domain name for VDS (Win 2008 R2)

Post by mcampos »

Hi,

I'm trying to configure a domain name for my VDS. I've edited my domain nameservers settings so that it points to ns1.nfoservers.com and ns2.nfoservers.com.

I've also created a A record that maps my domain (tastyunicorns.com) to the VDS public IP address (74.91.123.218).

On IIS7 (WinServer 2008 R2) I've created a website (binded to the domain name tastyunicorns.com on port 80) that's working normally if you access it directly via public IP address. What doesn't work is that I can't access it via the domain name.

Is there something else missing? Have I configured something wrong?

Thx in advance.

Is the DNS record hosted at nfo or at a third party service? Shouldn't the nameservers point to that host if the DNS is there?

Ah, crap! You're totally right. Just show how much I know about web server administration :|
