How do I host my domain on my VPS?
Hello everyone!
I've managed to install a LAMP stack on my VPS. I also installed WordPress and it works great. But I don't want to have http://IP_ADDRESS/ as my website address. I already have bough a domain a while ago from Go Daddy.
How do I set this domain to work from my VPS?

Modify A record in your domain CP to point your vps IP to your domain
Ok I'll try that immediately Thank you!
If you're with GoDaddy, the following page should help.

Don't keep it limited, start with CloudFlare's DNS (What I still use) then try to move it on your self-hosted DNS & then move that back to 3rd party DNS once you'll be succeed
