  Nice. Just registered an account and tried to register a subdomain.eu.org to my VPS’ IPv4 address, but I keep getting

  SOA from SUBDOMAIN.EU.ORG at nnn.nn.nn.nn: Error: Timeout

  Maybe I just have to wait but I’m not sure I’m doing this right at all…

    What DNS software are you running?

      Client or server?

        You need to have an authoritative DNS server listening and answering somewhere. Is this running at your home?

        If it is, then try querying the IP directly. The most commonly used tool is “dig”, but other ones are available. It should look something like:

        dig @your-public-IP subdomain.eu.org
