Little help with nameservers please

    Hello,

    I've already properly set up nameservers for my domain (http://seowebtips.com) but the problem I have is as follows:

    When I type http://seowebtips.com into browser and hit enter, it goes to my website, however there is an IP adress shown in browser url input field instead of an actual url of the domain (http://seowebtips.com).

    Anybody knows where could be a problem?

    Did you setup the DNS correctly? what panel software do you use? looks to me you are doing forward to the IP, you need to create an A record for the domain if you haven't already.

    Oh god I'm totally confused now. Could you help me set it up? I'll pay you $10 via paypal if you could fix that ;)

    I'm sure it's just some easy fix... probably just some value needs to be edited somewhere... but this is my first VPS and I'm noob at these things...

    Actually most of this is common sense, I don't mind helping you and you don't need to pay.

    Hi,

    The problem with your site appears to be due to either your web servers configuration or the .htaccess file that wordpress generated; I would be on the latter.

    You might be able to fix the problem by checking the admin settings in wordpress to make sure it has the domains as the site's address and not the IP address.
