You can find the IP address of your Cloud VPS in https://cp.blacknighthosting.com under:
Services > My Services > click on your VPS > scroll down to the IP Addresses section
This is the default IP address on your VPS and unless you have set up extra IP addresses on the VPS and have your domains using them this would be the IP address you need to point any domainname or hostname to if you want it pointing to your VPS .
Once you have your domainname\hostname set up on the VM however you need it (i.e. set up in the webserver you installed on the VM) then we recommend you set up the following DNS records for that domain to have it point to your VM:
# An A record of *.domainname.com pointing to the VPS 's IP address
# An A record of domainname.com pointing to the VPS 's IP address
# An A record of www.domainname.com pointing to the VPS 's IP address
If you have an email server set up on the VM also and want the domain to use it for email then you need to set up an MX record to set the email to go to domainname.com; typical records would be as follows:
# An A record of mail.domainname.com pointing to the VPS 's IP address
# An MX record for domainname.com pointing to mail.domainname.com
# An TXT record for domainname.com set as v=spf1 a mx include:spf.blacknight.com ~all
