Linode not showing under Domains in Cloud Manager
I just created a linode with IP address 172.234.18.173 that shows up under "Linodes" in the Cloud Manager, but not under "Domains". Why isn't it appearing under "Domains"?

"Domains" are for any domain names that you've registered. If you want your linode to be accessible via a domain name (rather than only via the IP address), you'll need to add a domain and then edit the relevant DNS records. For that to work, you'll also need be using Linode's nameservers (ns1.linode.com to ns5.linode.com).
For example, if you're running a website, you'll need to set the domain's A/AAAA record to be 172.234.18.173

Alternatively, the registrar you registered the domain name with should have DNS settings which you could use instead.
OK. I'm red-faced now. I'll add to your comment above. The solution was simple: Under "Domains", I needed to click the "Create Domain" button and enter the domain name.
I don't know why I thought the domain name should automatically appear in the "Domains" section when I created the server since it doesn't get entered anywhere when setting it up. So naturally, I had to create a domain name record to set up the name servers and enter the A and AAAA corresponding IP addresses.
It seems like complex problems are easy to solve. It's the obvious idiot problems that get in my way!
