title: How to use my new domain from godaddy with my Apache2 server on Raspberry pi
body: <p>I just purchased a domain from GoDaddy, let's call it example.com. I set it up on GoDaddy to where it forwards people to my home IP Address where my Raspberry Pi hosts my website using Apache2. How can I properly set it up so that it shows example.com in the address bar rather than my home IP address?</p>
  <p>Here is my .conf file for my website:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
      # The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
      # the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
      # redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
      # specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
      # match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
      # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
      # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
      ServerName www.example.com
  
      ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
      DocumentRoot /var/www/html
  
      # Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
      # error, crit, alert, emerg.
      # It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
      # modules, e.g.
      #LogLevel info ssl:warn
  
      ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
      CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
  
      # For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
      # enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
      # include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
      # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
      # after it has been globally disabled with &quot;a2disconf&quot;.
      #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
  &lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
  
  # vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet
  </code></pre>
