The top-level A records are set to hosting with Webflow on the following ip addresses:

A 23.235.33.229 (platform.earth) A 104.156.81.229 (platform.earth)

A subdomain (hack.platform.earth) is pointing to the Atopia Wiki Farm.

A 46.101.23.193 (hack.platform.earth)

# Restart server We can use the shell plugin to restart the server:

restart wiki

It can take a little while to update the DNS records. Check the progress using Domain Name Tools. In particular to check DNS propagation - whatsmydns.net
