Website is accessed through IP address but not domain name?

Question

I use NGINX and MariaDB on my web server.

I upgraded OS from Debian Squeeze to Debian Wheezy. After this operation I have removed Apache server and Mysql completely. Then, I have installed Nginx and MariaDB.

Now, I access my website through IP address, but I can not access it from domain name. I tried to fix it but I couldn't be successful.

My domain: http://tinyurl.com/lg4kjsg

Domain IP: 37.148.208.85

I have solved my problem after editing this file;

etc/bind/named.conf.local I found this file on my old backup. I have added these lines and my problem fixed.

// [gencharitaci.net] entry BEGIN
zone "gencharitaci.net" {
  type master;
  file "/var/cache/bind/gencharitaci.net.db";
  allow-transfer { localhost; };
  notify yes;
};
// [gencharitaci.net] entry ENDING

// [gencharitaci.com] entry BEGIN
zone "gencharitaci.com" {
  type master;
  file "/var/cache/bind/gencharitaci.com.db";
  allow-transfer { localhost; };
  notify yes;
};
// [gencharitaci.com] entry ENDING

// [gencharitaci.org] entry BEGIN
zone "gencharitaci.org" {
  type master;
  file "/var/cache/bind/gencharitaci.org.db";
  allow-transfer { localhost; };
  notify yes;
};
// [gencharitaci.org] entry ENDING

// [admin.0050569fc491.gencharitaci.net] entry BEGIN
zone "admin.0050569fc491.gencharitaci.net" {
  type master;
  file "/var/cache/bind/admin.0050569fc491.gencharitaci.net.db";
  allow-transfer { localhost; };
  notify yes;
};
// [admin.0050569fc491.gencharitaci.net] entry ENDING

It looks like your domain ge***.net is not registered in DNS yet.

[root@ ~]# ping gencharitaci.net
ping: unknown host gencharitaci.net
[root@ ~]# dig gencharitaci.net
