After configuring the WHM/cPanel the landing page does not show the index.html in public_html rather it is showing the domain registrar details e.g: www.nexnaira.com.

I have deleted all the files in the public_html (cPanel) but it seems not to have any effect like the site is not pointing to the index.html I uploaded. Maybe I am doing it all wrong, please I need assistance

    In order for your domain to display the content it has on your VPS, it is necessary to either register Private Nameservers or point your domain to BasicDNS and then add A record with the IP Address of your server in order to point it to your VPS.

    To register Private Nameservers three steps should be taken: 1) register Private Nameservers on the Domain registrar's side; https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/768/10/how-do-i-register-personal-nameservers-for-my-domain

    You can find the IP addressees for your Private Nameservers in. Your Virtual server access details should have been sent to your registered email.

    2) set up Private Nameserves on the Hosting provider side ( SOA record which states the privary nameserver for your domain, A records for subdomains ns1 and ns2 and NS records) This guide is for your convenience: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/207/48/how-to-set-up-private-nameservers-vps-and-dedicated-servers

    3) point your domain to the Private Nameservers on the Domain registrar's side.
