  • I have raspberry pi web server in my home. It is running on apache2. Router ports are redirected and that is ok.

  • That web server is accessible from internet by entering my external IP address eg. 5.123.123.123

  • I want to have a domain name like www.mydomain.com rather than IP address so I bought a domain on OVH.com

  • Then inside ovh domain panel, I set up a redirection: www.mydomain.com to 5.123.123.123

  • It does not work, www.mydomain.com showed some OVH welcome message.

  • Then I've read something about DNS servers so I've checked my router DNS addresses (1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8) and inserted them into ovh dns panel as well.

  • Now webpage is not loading at all (no ovh welcome message).

How do I set it up properly?

Thanks for help

At ovh.com create an A record within your DNS zone mydomain.com resolving to your public IP 5.123.123.123, if you also use www create another A record. So at the end you will have 2 A records.

A record 'mydomain.com' -> 5.123.123.123
A record 'www.mydomain.com' -> 5.123.123.123

Please confirm that your DNS Name servers are the ones provided by ovh.com by running from your Raspberry.

dig mydomain.com NS
