i set up my new accounts, i checked the DNS on the domain name to make sure it is working and it says its pointing to the nameservers i was given to use. so why isnt my domain showing up? and its doing that to all of them.
i must have something wrong in my set up dns configuration but i cant find it

domain is jensensphotography.com

i can view it when i got to my 75.127.113.254/~jensen so i know its on the server correctly but why wont the domain show up?
 
The nameservers you have your domain pointed to, do not have any A records on your domain:

Code: 
dig jensensphotography.com @NS101.VPSLAND.COM

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> jensensphotography.com @NS101.VPSLAND.COM
; (1 server found)

DirectAdmin creates those A records by default. You probably have pointed the domain's nameservers to the wrong location. Are you sure the nameservers NS101.VPSLAND.COM and NS202.VPSLAND.COM are pointed to your server (or VPS for that matter)?
 
i just checked and my dns for the jensens domain name is:

ns101.vpsland.com
ns202.vpsland.com

so on that end it is set up right. it must be something i did wrong on the server end.

Click to expand...

That depends, are the following IP's assigned to your server?

Code: 
$ dig +short ns101.vpsland.com
64.22.102.251
$ dig +short ns202.vpsland.com
64.22.91.251

If they aren't (which I think is the problem), it is likely that you do not control DNS for your domain and therefor it would never work.

There are 2 options now. Contact your DNS provider (vpsland.com) so they will add your domain with the right records, or you could run nameservers yourself.

You should have 2 IP's assigned to your VPS, if you haven't, contact your provider if that is possible at the least. If you have 2 IP's, create 2 A records, 1 to the first IP, the other to the second. For example you could create ns1 and ns2.jensensphotography.com.

If you have done that, contact your domain provider and have them change the nameservers to the ones you have just created with the A records.

Wait a while so ISP's have updated their cache (will differ from provider to provider though) and you should be good to go.
 
I'm having the same issue with vpsland.com

The nameservers dont seem to resolve, I opened a support ticket and they told me to make sure the nameservers were set correctly (THEY WERE).

Here is the email:
You can use the below name servers at your domain's registrar end.

ns202.vpsland.com [64.22.91.251]
ns101.vpsland.com [64.22.102.251]

If you want to use your own name servers, then you will need to contact your domain registrar and register the nameservers. You will need to use your vps IP and one additional IP to register the nameservers. Please

use the details.
ns1.domainname.com points to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (Blocked it)
ns1.domainname.com points to your vps addon IP.

You will need to order one additional IP. You can purchase ip through hspc control panel.
1) Login to your HSPC control panel
2) Click on "Upgrade Center"
3) Click on Buy Resources
4) Under Licenses please select the "Ip address, Monthly fee $1.00"
5) Click on next
6) Pay the payment related to ip address.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

I did some checking, it looks like ns101.vpsland.com [64.22.102.251] is parked!?!?!

Would that cause the issue?
 
If we had your domain name we could probably help you. Otherwise we cannot.
