I set up my own home server with static ip and used Centos Web Panel for Server Management
all things are working perfectly as i can access my web server using shared IP (Static IP) outside network.
Now I want to access my server content through Domain name and i already have domain name from Bigrok
and Added A-records in DNS management over Domain provider and waited 48 hours
Still my domain not connected to server ip.
One more thing As i said i have set up my own home Server with CWP what to put in Nameserver Details its asking for nameserver and Ip address like this.
CWM Nameserver Details
Checked Dns status using https://dnschecker.org and found all "Not Resolved"
Is Something missing that i have not done.

I have a Bluehost VPS account and I need to point my external domain which is purchased from porkbun to my VPS server. After some research, I have changed the A record in the domain registrar to my VPS server IP and changed name servers to Bluehost servers(which are ns1.bluehost.com and ns2.bluehost.com). Currently, when accessing the domain I'm seeing the default Bluehost page, but it does not seem to be connected with the server as it does not display any file I'm updating in the root folder. Is there any step I'm missing? I have tried changing nameservers of the VPS server itself by editing DNS settings in the domain, but any of them does not seem to be working. Any help on this would be highly appreciated.
If you are trying to 'browse' to your VPS server then you would need to add an 'A' record type into the DNS for the domain name.
For example, if you are browsing to 'test.mydomain.com' and your VPS IP Address is '192.186.1.15' then you should add an A Record into the domain zone file with the following detals:
Host Record - test
Points To - 192.168.1.15
These details are taken from the following page:

I registered domain on the WHM and create a new user cpanel with the domain, the domain is added to the cpanel. But when i try to browse the domain name it getting server DNS address could not be found.i updated the name servers with my server name, but nothing changed.
when i try to go through myip/~newuser it going fine to the site file, but with the domain name it's not.
You have a DNS issue in this case. Please check your DNS zone with a tool like intoDns:
https://intodns.com/yourdomain.tld
See if you get any errors there. If you do, then you have issues with your DNS configuration. Be sure that you have create the parent DNS servers for your domain if you want to use the DNS from WHM (the parent DNS servers should point to your WHM server ip).
Try using external services to query your DNS server to see if it actually works (like MXToolBox etc). Or you can use nslookup or dig right from your WHM server by connecting via ssh.
I have a registered domain name, www.aaaDomain.com, assigned to ip address xx.xx.xx.xx . I set up my site on IIS8 to use the ip address xx.xx.xx.xx and port 8020 for my website. I can connect to the website when I type xx.xx.xx.xx:8020 in a browser but I cannot connect to the website when I use www.aaaDomain.com:8020
Also, I have another website on this same server as my Default website. When I type just the domain name without the port number, my default website comes up (because DNS does not allow adding port numbers) just like when I type in the ip address without the port number.
What am I doing wrong?
Here is what my site binding looks like on IIS8.
As you already have an existing site running on the server you should check your security settings on both the Windows firewall and any other security/firewall settings you have - It sounds like you have not opened the additional port which you have just configured in IIS.
Check to see if you can ping the new site by its domain name - that will verify that you have the correct DNS setup, you can also try & browse to it via the server console (or remote desktop) if that works then its security setting somewhere blocking your access. Even if the ping request times out it should still resolve the name to an IP address for you to check. You may find that ICMP is also blocked.
If you just changed your dns record, be aware that you should wait up to 72 hours for the dns to replicate after changing your dns record.
I have the IP address of the DNS server from the WebHost. Since we do not own the Domain Name (Its the client's DN) I would like to query the WebHost DNS directly to see if it works before asking the client to point his DN to the WebHost DNS.
Am I missing something here? I'm kinda confused when it comes to configures online services.
From Windows Command Prompt:
nslookup
server x.x.x.x (put the WebHost DNS IP address there)
www.yourdomain.com (type the name of the domain you want resolved)
quit
I am unsure Whether both DNS server and Host file are the same or different.
I Hosted an application in IIS and created A host name as website1.domain.com and tried to browse it and it didn't work.
When searching on net i found that we need to make entry in DNS server or Host file.
As in most of the sites that I saw mentioned DNS server or host file. I am unsure Whether the both are same or they both are different.
A hosts file is used by Operating Systems to manually specify the IP addresses for specific domains/subdomains - think of it as an override.
DNS however is a server - think of it as a registry - that keeps track of records pertaining to domains, such as A records, MX records etc.
For the purposes of a local test site, an entry in your hosts file would be sufficient, however for a live site, a DNS entry relating to the domain you wish to have your site hosted on would be required.
Choosing which to use comes down to a few things. Does the server upon which your hosting the site use its own DNS server, i.e. a DNS server on the same network, which the connections to the server will be using as well? Does the domain name the site uses have its nameserver set to one that is externally available (i.e. 123-reg.co.uk). If either of these cases are true, you could probably use a DNS server.
If not, is the server hosting the site running on the same machine as the client that will be viewing the site? If so, you can probably use a hosts file, pointing your domains to the localhost IP of 127.0.0.1, ensuring the domains match the bindings in IIS.
Dns server is a server that will help to resolve dns names. ie when you type google.com in your browser , the name will be passed to the dns server provided by your isp. then it will be resolved to ip address by the dns server and your request will be routed to the google ip address by isp network. host file is different one. if you add www.mydomian.com entry in your host file and map it to an ip address 192.168.0.1 then your computer will check ion your host file when you type www.mydomain.com, whether there is any entry for mydomain.com in your host file, and if exists it will be routed to that ip address. in case if there is dns server and you set that server ip in your hnetwork configuration in your pc, then all the domain name request will be sent to that dns server(if there is no host entry exists)
