How do I add my domain from a shared hosting account
I have a domain , zimhomes.com with siteground.com. Switched my name servers to linode.com's name servers there about four days ago.
First, I chose the master dns zone option over the slave option.I enterd an A record for the site, the ip address and hostname which I had named the server too.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN for the domain when I look it up
I'm a newbie to server admin and just need the bare minimum to get started.Could anyone help out

Hey @musharukwa94, right now I'm seeing zimhomes.com is still directed towards non-Linode name servers and not resolving from there:
$ dig +trace zimhomes.com | grep zimhomes.com
; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> +trace zimhomes.com
zimhomes.com. 172800 IN NS ns1.urimbohosting.com.
zimhomes.com. 172800 IN NS ns2.urimbohosting.com.
I'd check with your registrar to make sure that there aren't any issues with the changes you've made. Otherwise your Linode DNS Manager configuration sounds fine, but here's our guide on using it in case it's helpful.
