How can I set up nameservers, DNS and such?
I have registered a domain through Hover, where I'm trying to host a NextCloud instance. I am finding it difficult, however, to make it possible to access the domain I've set up.
Things I've done so far:
- Set the nameservers on Hover to
ns1.linode.com. - Set up the DNS in the 'Domain'-tab on Linode's website.
Still, when entering nextcloud.mywebsite.org it won't connect. I know it is up because if I enter the IP directly in the browser, it sends me to my NextCloud instance.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This sounds like a web server configuration issue. You have to tell your web server about this stuff. It can't figure it out by itself…
Does mywebsite.org respond to ping? What does dig mywebsite.org tell you? What does traceroute mywebsite.org tell you?
