DNS Propagation for VPS

DNS Propagation for VPS

So, I have a VPS, and I have both an internal and external domain for the same site in the VPS. The internal domain is successfully connected to the website without any hassle. I have pointed the A records to the VPS's IP, and they were added with ease. But I have added the external domain to the VPS and then to the domain section "gazab.com.au". I pointed the nameserver from ventraIP to Hostinger's. This means Hostinger is the authoritative server now. But, somehow, when I open the domain manager, it shows pending,

SO, the NS record in the DNS checker does show Hostinger, but A records aren't added. When I try to add a record in the domain manager, it says "Domain not found".

Am I doing something wrong here? So, I did add the domain to the VPS like 3 days ago, but didn't change the nameservers in VentraIP until like 5 hours ago. But 5 hrs is a long time. The NS record has already been propagated, but somehow the domain isn't connected to Hostinger.

I already received an email with an admission letter after the declaration of acceptance form that I was asked to submit, but I received another email- I don't remember when, but it was 12 days before today asking me to register on their portal and download the admission letter.

After registering on their portal, I can't find any kind of enrollment or such; it is just the apply to the university procedure yet again.

Any body follow this email those whose accept the RPTU's offer letter.

Nextjs Deployment Cost - Asking for suggestions

I built a restaurant booking application using Next.js, NeonDB and Resend. If I pay $20 for Vercel and $20 for Resend, I’m not sure whether we’ll hit the personal quota in NeonDB, if we do, that would add another $15.

This is way more expensive compared to what they previously had, like a $20 PHP setup that included the application, database, and email on Hostinger. I did add a lot of functionality to the website, such as blocking/unblocking, authentication, contacts, custom time slots, subscribers, email notifications, and bulk emails. But even then, the price is about 275% higher than what they were paying before. In fact, it’s even more considering that none of these services offer discounts for yearly subscriptions.

I’ve never deployed on a VPS before, but I’m seriously considering that option, even though I would lose many of the advantages of my current setup. I’m looking for suggestions to reduce the cost.

Yeah, this is for a business; it is already unsettling for me. I don't know how the owners will react about the price.

Expatrio: can't enter data to proceed

I was just observing how to use blocked account from my different email from which I would have never created any blocked account anyway. Then, when it is time to create a blocked account, expatrio has detected some previous activity from the main email.

Now, it is in limboo, no citizenship, passport or other details were entered at that time.

Now that I try to enter DOB, location and country.

It says the following in images.

I have tried email, support ticket and everything, but it is always AI or totally ghosted. Why is their support system so poor. It has been more than a week now, visa interview queue is really long in my country and expatrio is causing additional issues.

Also, I have uploaded the passport 2 time in the span of some days, the UI doesn't show if it is uploaded or not either, just pending even after the upload. What is it supposed to be ?

How should I proceed and what should I do ?

How often does Chemnitz- Eduportal take to reply to the query ?

Applied to Chemnitz on April 8th for Web Engineering, and the following is the status on the portal, so I went on to ask about it, but the state of the answer is the same. Is this normal, or am I just stressing over nothing, because other platforms and universities would reply to an email in a day or a few hours?

University of Seigen Rejection

I applied for the WiSe 2026/27 MSc Computer Science specialization in embedded systems. I was asked to complete a test, did, and received an email to join the interview. Complete that too, just yesterday, with all correct answers. Today, I received rejection mail with the reason:

"This decision is based on the Examination Regulations for the Master of Science Computer Science in the valid version from 2021 with currently adopted amendments from April 2025."

If credits were an issue, shouldn't I have been rejected way before the test and interview?

GPA: 1.5 (Bachelor of Software Engineering)
High School:3.08/4.00
IELTS: 7.5
Work Exp: 1 yr +

University of Paderborn

I applied there for MSc Computer Science via uni-assist on the 14th of March and forwarded it on the 17th of March. It has been like 65 days since, and I have seen people receiving the offer like 20 days ago. I wouldn't mind getting a rejection, but this is taking far too long.

My profile:
Bachelor of Software Engineering
IELTS: 7.5
GPA: 1.5
Work Experience: 1 year+

Further applied to the following universities, but heard back from none, the waiting is the most excruciating aspect since I have prepared for this for almost the last 6 months. Just wanted some consolation, idk. Some insights into what I should be doing, considering I'm from Nepal, which will take just as much time for the visa interview. I am also planning on taking language classes in the meantime.
