Domain or hostnames are essentially IP addresses in disguise. Resolving a domain name means converting it into an IPAddress. Your domain name needs to point at the right IP address in order to work correctly. So what should you do when your domain name isn’t resolving correctly? The following guide will answer that question for you.
What to do if my domain name isn’t resolving to the correct IP Address?
First things first, you need to ascertain if your domain name is truly pointing at the wrong IP Address. The easiest way to do this is by using a DNS lookup tool. All you need to do is enter your fully qualified domain name in the Host textbox and then click on the Continue button. The next screen will show you the hostname (your domain name) and the IP address next to it. You need to ensure that the IP address is correct. If the DNS lookup tool produces no results, it could mean that there’s something wrong with your domain name or IP address.
