Apache domainname instead of IP

Question

I'm not sure this is even a question to be asked here, but I'll give it a shot anyway.

So I have an ubuntu server, and I recently purchased a domainname.

Now I have forwarded the domain to my IP, but whenever I reach the server, the browser shows the IP adress instead of the domain.

Is this something I should configure in Apache, or from godday (where I got the domainname)

Thanks in advance :)

Did you create the A record or CName record? This is going to map IP address with your domain name. — Avichal Badaya, Apr 15 '13 at 16:45
I don't think so, I only forwarded it to my IP. I'll give it a shot thanks. — user1291510, Apr 16 '13 at 07:25

Start with checking your setup at Godaddy. What you probably need is an A entry.

The good news is that your setup seems to work since you get an answer from you server!
