Custom domain from go daddy
Hi,
I am totally new to this but I just can't get my custom domain name working. I looked up my domain name at dnschecker.org and it shows the IP-adress of my linode server, so that's not the problem. However when I type in the domain name in the browser in safari, it just says "Safari can't open the page because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server", with chrome I get to the parked page at godaddy.
I have cleared all browser history, cache and cookies and it still doesn't work. I can however access the site using the IP adress of the server with no problem.
- So I have a domain name at godaddy, I have changed the name servers to the 5 linode name servers as documented in the docs.
- I have created a domain at linode and made sure all the A/AAAA records are accurate.
- I have edited the IPv4 RDNS and put in my domain name.
It still doesn't work.
Please help!

I have a custom domain registered at GoDaddy. I've been using it with Linode for nearly 10 years.
Safari can't open the page because Safari can't establish a secure connection to the server
Safari will tell you this when your TLS cert/protocol are not working correctly. It (usually) doesn't have anything to do with DNS.
Did you try the URL http://mydomain.com (note http…not https)?
What is the domain name? What web server are you using? What is the configuration for your VirtualHost?
Most of us here are pretty good at a lot of things but I would say that none of us are very good at reading minds ;-)
