You need to add an "A" record to the DNS zone-data for your domain.

How you do this depends on your DNS service provider, In the case of GoDaddy it should be something like:

  • Log on to GoDaddy
  • Go to "Domains"
  • Select the domain (e.g. baghdasaryan.com)
  • Click "Manage DNS"
  • Click "Add" to add a record
  • Set the record type to "A"
  • Put in in the hostname (e.g. "www")
  • Put in the IP-address of the virtual server
  • Click "Save"
  • Wait (it may take 10 minutes or much more for the name to be usable worldwide)

This answer assumes IPV4. The process for IPV6 may be similar.
