I'm trying to link my domain name registered at GoDaddy with my VPS from OVH (SoYouStart). I had to created an A Record to point to my IP and it works, however, it sometimes redirects me to the parked page of GoDaddy, which means I still have to change the ServerName. So, to link my domain to my VPS GoDaddy asks me for 2 ServerNames but OVH gave me only one ServerName.

Any clue how to make this thing happen, I searched everywhere none has the right answer.

Thank you!

    What's the domain name? Sometimes redirecting to a GoDaddy parked page sounds like a nameserver issue, not a ServerName one.

You appear to have configured multiple A records. The domain points at both 184.168.221.55 (GoDaddy) and 94.23.211.117 (OVH). Delete the GoDaddy record and you should be fine (note: DNS gets cached, so it may take a few minutes to a few hours for it to stop happening).

Right now, you've accidentally implemented http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_DNS.

  • I see, you're right I have the both as you said. Perfect, I'm gonna delete GoDaddy's record and wait for changes to be applied and accept your answer if everything went fine. Meanwhile you deserve +1 May 26, 2015 at 20:01
