I have this (empty) website: http://173.246.103.118/

I have done all the settings for this IP to be reachable through: www.bookahotelin.us but it's still not working for some unknown reason.

This checking looks good: http://www.intodns.com/bookahotelin.us

Do you have any clue where I am wrong?

What exactly isn't working? Is the page not reachable? Is DNS resolution not working? Does the page not render correctly? Give us specifics on the problem. – joeqwerty Mar 27 '12 at 10:49
@joeqwerty If you go here: bookahotelin.us you will notice a blank page (even the source it's empty). If you go here: 173.246.103.118 you will see that this should be the page reachable by the domain... (empty page but the source is fine) – user22817 Mar 27 '12 at 10:51
Both the FQDN and the ip address are working, but the page isn't rendering. The FQDN resolves correctly to the ip address. I'd say this is a web server issue. What web server are you running the site on? Does the site render correctly from the server itself? How about from other clients on the same network? – joeqwerty Mar 27 '12 at 10:54

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

For what it's worth, www.bookahotelin.us and http://173.246.103.118/ both seem to be opening same empty page (both have same favicon like that of play framework). I am accessing from Pune, India.

Site looks fine here (both www.bookahotelin.com and http://bookahotelin.com), remember it can take up to 72 hours globally to update but usually accessible within 6 hours.

Hm... can you please check: www.bookahotelin.us ? and not .com :) – user22817 Mar 27 '12 at 10:46
oops sorry, i meant .us instead of .com! – Cold T Mar 27 '12 at 10:47
You can use this site to check across some dns server globally - whatsmydns.net/#A/www.bookahotelin.us – Cold T Mar 27 '12 at 10:48

If you're referring to DNS propagation, than that's wrong because DNS doesn't propagate. If you're referring to DNS caching then that's only applicabale to DNS clients that already have the DNS record in question in cache and only if the OP changed the DNS record in question. If the DNS record in question is new, then no caching can have occurred and the DNS record information should be available to all DNS clients immediately. – joeqwerty Mar 27 '12 at 10:48
