I have a OVH VPS Server and a OVH domain name and I want to make my domain name to point to my VPS server.
What I did is, modified the record of type A in DNS Zone to my VPS Server's ip4. And when I access the domain name this is what it looks like:
!domain|640x500
Please help!
Thanks!
DNS changes take time to propagate! Most often, you just need to wait for a little bit of time to pass.
If you're checking the site from a Windows based machine (Linux machine don't cache DNS lookups by default), you might have to clear your DNS cache, which is pretty easy to do. Just open an elevated command prompt and type `ipconfig /flushdns`the hit enter and try to visit the site again. If that's not working, then you either have to wait or use a DNS provider that updates quicker like CloudFlare. Failing those, you may have made an error when updating the A record, it's always good to double check!
This is what I exactly did:
!DNS%20Zone|690x380
I changed the target of the 2 A Types to my VPS ip4 which is 139… and so on.
Should that work already right?
Yes, that's correct and this should have propagated by now.
It does depend on what the domains in the A records are though, generally you'd only have one IP listed there for simple setups and use CNAME records to point other domains at it, then if your IP ever changes (i.e. new server) you only have to update 1 IP address 
, but it seems you have 2 A records. It's a bit harder to tell if it's correct or not without seeing the full domain values, though you probably don't want to reveal that publicly.
I tend to set my domains up like this:
[details="DNS records example"]
Domain TTL Type Target
example.com 0 A 139.12.34.56
1server.example.comserver.example.com 0 A 12.34.56.78
www.example.com 0 CNAME example.com. # Note the full stop on the end
another.example.com 0 CNAME example.com. # Note the full stop on the end
[/details]
You can then test your records easily in a terminal, here are some examples:
[details="bash"]
`dig example.com`
; <<>> DiG 9.16.1-Ubuntu <<>> example.com

Hope this helps!
The 2 A records are just the same.
Example:
test.com
www.test.com
just with and without 'www'.
But I have configured these last week and still when I access my the domain name via browser, it still shows same as the screenshot I posted earlier on the 1st topic.
Please Help!
Thanks!
