domain name converts to IP in browser bar, using apache webserver

I'm trying to configure my new domain name to my home server running apache. I've set up httpd.conf in apache, so that I can access my website from the domain name on the web, the problem is that when I go to the domain name, the browser address changes to my server IP. The httpd.conf stuff I've set is:

#VIRTUAL DocumentRoot
#VIRTUAL ServerName
#VIRTUAL ServerAdmin

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin ***
DocumentRoot "***"
ServerName ***
</VirtualHost>

On the domain side, I have an HTTP redirect to my server public IP. Can someone point me on the direction of what is supposed to be configured differently, thanks.

turns out I needed to find and edit the 'A Record' for my domain name provider, hidden away in advanced settings...changing from the domain provider IP to my server IP
