i'm having trouble with my A Record.

i've set my subdomain's (server.sf-roleplay.tk) A Record to 212.47.230.89 which is my server IP, this will turn my server ip into "server.sf-roleplay.tk". it was working, but after a week, it stopped working. it doesn't connect or show the hostname on my samp server list, I tried using the ip "212.47.230.89", from there, it works.

But if i type in "server.sf-roleplay.tk" into my browser, it sends me to the panel of my server provider.

i recently got myself an "sf-roleplay.net" domain, and also changed the A Record to "212.47.230.89", but still no luck. Is it SA-MP's fault or am i doing something wrong?

Are you making sure to include the proper server port at the end of the domain if you aren’t using the default SA-MP port?
i.e. server.sf-roleplay.tk:7766
If your port is 7766.

[SeanDenZYR]

yes i do include the port.

Probably some problem on host side if you're not doing anything wrong.

Yup it did work for him tho.
I did pinging IP and his domain both and both had replies. I think the problem is solved now?

Yep. Your A record pings an IP. Must be an issue with your host.

sorry for the super late reply. I currently changed my host provider, did the same, changed the A record to 138.68.108.30. Also, i changed website provider and got myself a .net domain. It works, when i type into the browser the host provider's ip (138.68.108.30), which is also my server ip, it sends me to the host ogp panel, and i tried server.sf-roleplay.net (where i changed my A record to 138.68.108.30 which is my host provider's IP), it also sends me to the host ogp panel (which is a good thing), but when i started my server, (which was currently closed when i changed the A Record), and typed the new ip (server.sf-roleplay.net:7779), it doesn't work, does it have to do with TTL or something? cause i set it to 1 hour.

oh, problem fixed, i tried to connect, it worked, but a new problem occured: my hostname is not working, it just shows me this:

This often happens when a firewall is blocking the query but not the game connection. I'm not sure what the solution is. What is your host provider and are you using an external firewall?

[SeanDenZYR]

I use 1and1 for web hosting, and my server provider uses an OGP

[SeanDenZYR]

and as shown on my signature, it sees IP, Mode, Players, Map, Also the hostname on top, but it doesn't show in my samp server list.

[Weinz]

I had the same problem but it got fixed automatically either 1and1 hosted fixed or it was me.

-updated-

Something is wrong with your samp client, I guess. I wrote that thing on my sa-mp client and it working perfectly.

Try removing your server with the IP address and only keep the one with the hostname.

fixed now, thanks everyone!
