I did rebuild my VPS and everything worked fine this time. Yay! Thank you so much!
One question I do have is about the DNS Name Server. I did create a name server on my cyber panel as shown in the LMS. But when I try to enter that into Namecheap custom DNS, it just spins for a few seconds and then I get a message “Oops, something went wrong. Please try again.” Is this the part that takes a while to update throughout the internet? I have tried this several times (it’s been about 6 hours)
One thing that worries me is I set up a website (using the same domain name) with the VPS before the rebuild using Word Ops. I previously used the linode name servers, so I’m trying to delete them and put in my own name servers. I hope that doesn’t cause problems for me.
