Hi,

It depends on which OS you are using:

If you are using Windows then you need to add the DNS entry in \%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts configuration file as follows:
192.0.43.10 example.com www.example.com

On Apple Macintosh computers, the hosts file is located at /private/etc/hosts.

On Linux computers, the hosts file is located at /etc/hosts.

Note: Replace the IP given above with your server IP and example.com with your domain name.

Let us know if you have any further queries.

Which OS have you installed on your VPS?

If Linux/Ubuntu then your hosts file exists as:

add the entry as follows:
192.0.43.10 example.com www.example.com

Note: Replace the IP given above with your server IP and example.com with your domain name.

Hi,

From the screenshot it seems you are trying to access your domain(not propagated till date) from your Windows web browser. You need to add the domain entry in Windows /etc/hosts file.

When you want to issue curl/ping from your CentOS server tp your domain then you will have to add the domain entry in /etc/hosts file of your CentOS server.

Let us know if you have any further queries.
