Mydomain.org Not showing website content when visited

Maintenance

mydomain.org shows "this is a mail-in-a-box
take control of your email at https://mailinabox.email/"
every time i visit it.
I set up all the Who’s Nameserver values to ns1.box.mydomain.org and ns2.box.mydomain.org at DreamHost, and pointed them to the box’s droplet IP.
However, mydomain.org is hosted on a different droplet.
Mail-in-a-box is working fine, i am already sending and receiving messages but mydomain.org just can’t show the website when i visit it.

I set up an A RECORD in DreamHost’s custom DNS to map mydomain.org to its droplet IP so i can have it show the website content, but it still did’nt work.
I need your Help. Thank you.

@gilbert90 Should not be a your ‘dreamhost’ custom DNS where to add the A record… Do It at your MiaB panel ‘Custom DNS’ one.

@just4t Could it be DigitalOcean in my case? Its where my Droplets are
Thank you

@just4t what do you mean by MiaB panel?
Please forgive my ignorance?

@gilbert90 if you already have set your nameservers at your domain registar pointing to your BOX then your DNS manager is your Miab BOX and the DNS manager that DO offers you by default can be ignored then…
Add the A record to your MiAB ‘Custom DNS’ panels at least for your mydomain.org and www.mydomain.org with the IP of your WEB server droplet.

@just4t Thank you so much. Though i’m not there yet. It is still showing the static page on the box droplet.
Does it take sometime to propagate?

As of now, it is no longer returning the static box html page.

But rather, This site can’t be reached

childaid-cameroon.org refused to connect. This seems like a sign of propagation.

Also, on the Mail-in-a-Box panel, there is this section of
Using a secondary nameserver. My DNS registrar is DreamHost, and their nameservers are ns1.dreamhost.com, ns2.dreamhost.com and ns3.dreamhost.com.
Do i go ahead and add them also?
Thank you

@just4t Thanks a bunch, everything works fine. My mail is working fine, and my website is up as well.

However, at this point i need to add another domain to the mail box say, example.com and set up its users as well.
