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 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:

Hey guys I build second wordpress on azure,but I wanna use synology domain name for azure.
I use dns server try to pair Cname for azure, but it's not working.
The azure said I don't Verify domain ownership.
But I'm already to setting in Nas Dns server
Sounds like you are setting a DNS record in a local DNS server. Azure checks for domain ownership from public DNS servers, it doesn't check your local DNS server.
You need to go to your DNS registrar (where you registered the domain) and modify the DNS records there.
If that was allowed, you could verify any domain that you don't own, which isn't what we want.
The company i work for just begun hosting a new website and had to transfer the domain name from the ISP to a different hosting company.
Now the website is accessible from outside the network but not accessible from inside the network. The ISP is the same and we can't access the website using our ISP. It doesn't resolve the DNS Name at all.
If i try to ping the website, it says "host lookup failed", even nslookup is failing. When trying to access the website via the IPaddress, it refuses.
The problem is in the ISP but I don't know how to solve it and our ISP isn't being very helpful.
This often happens when someone is running authoritative and recursive DNS on the same servers. Which is why you should never do that :)
It also happens when your local domain (Active Directory?) is the same as the domain you use at your hoster. Never do that. For example: if your domain is example.com then don't use example.com as your local domain. If you do then both your hoster and your own servers believe they are authoritative for that domain. Once the zone data starts to diverge you have this kind of weird problems. Instead use a subdomain of your domain name for your office, like office.example.com so that example.com can remain authoritative at the hoster.
If you do have the same domain both locally and at the hoster then you have to manually make sure that the information in your local DNS server stays in sync with the hoster's DNS server. For example: if your hoster has record www.example.com A 192.0.2.1 then you have to have the same record in your local DNS server. When the hoster changes the record to e.g. www.example.com A 192.0.2.222 then you have to make the same change otherwise your local DNS server will keep telling you that www.example.com is at 192.0.2.1. The same happens when you change hoster as they will almost certainly use different IP addresses.
So if you can then don't use the domain name itself in your office but use a subdomain. If that is impossible then you will have to manually keep the hoster's and your own DNS zone data in sync. Because this always goes wrong and breaks in 'interesting' ways really try to use a subdomain though!
PS: and never ever use somebody else's domain name as your local domain. I have seen ICT companies use local domains like <localcityname>.com and then suddenly the whole company can't access the real domain anymore because the local servers think it's theirs.
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)
