Changing IP to Domain Name

  • I created a micro instance (free tier) on Google Cloud Platform and registering the domain name on Namecheap.com

    I followed the steps in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12hJynECi4s
    At the 33 minute mark in the video, the domain name is linked to succesfully to the VM instance. However for me, the site does not show up in the broswer, only the following message:

    2020 Copyright. All Rights Reserved.

    How can I solve it? Is it relating to GCP, Namecheap or something else?

    Kind regards,
    Daniel

    P.S
    I tried a few times before with these GCP instances. The closest I got was an infinite looping of redirecting

  • If you want to use Google Cloud nameservers, you need to add your domain in Cloud DNS too, so far you only change the domain’s nameservers in your Namecheap account and it’s not enough.

    Make sure the values here are not returning any error messages (the ones in red): https://intodns.com/intellectualdicussions.com

    If you want to use Namecheap’s nameservers, you only need to modify the domain’s DNS A record, make sure the A record is your Google Cloud external IP address.

    After making changes, you would need to wait for the propagation.

    Actually I had already tried adding the Cloud DNS too, both an A record and a CNAME record as per: https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/quickstart

    Found the error. Had spelled the Domain Name wrong missing an “S” in discussion.
    Embarrasing ??
