CentOS/Nginx server isn't working, hosting Node apps - linux

Question

I have a pretty simple server setup that isn't working for some reason.
I have two apps running locally, one on port 1999 and the other on port 8000.
I have disabled Apache, and have nginx installed. Here's my nginx.conf in /etc/nginx/:
user nginx;
worker_processes 8;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
log_format main '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local] "$request" '
'$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
'"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main;
sendfile on;
#tcp_nopush on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
gzip on;
server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
}
And here's my default.conf in /etc/nginx/conf.d/ :
server {
listen 80;
server_name attendahh.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:1999;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
server {
listen 80;
server_name threadfinder.net;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
Navigating to http://my-ip-address:1999 and http://my-ip-address:8000 works just fine, but going to my domains does not.
I get the feeling that NGINX just plain isn't working, and maybe something in my hosts file/something else is messing things up. Any ideas on what steps I can take to work this out? This is a fresh install of NGINX.
EDIT: Also, when I try to access threadfinder.net and attendahh.com nothing appears in my access logs at /var/log/nginx/access.log

Well, do you have problem with DNS?
