Default [Help] Trying to park my domain on my new VPS

I'm trying to park seedsoftime.net on my new VPS hosting account, but something's not quite working, as everyone's telling me that the main URL (the link above) doesn't work. Accessing the website from the IP address (209.40.206.167) directly works fine.

Steps I took:
1. Went to Godaddy.com and set the domain's nameservers as the ones my VPS host gave me (ns1.vpslink.com, ns2.vpslink.com)
2. (See screenshot below.) Logged into my VPS hosting account and added the domain there, then added an "A name record" which has the domain "seedsoftime.net." (including a trailing period) as the Name, and the VPS's IP address (my website's IP address) as the listed IP address.

Step 2 can be seen here:

To try and troubleshoot this on my own, I went to network-tools.com and entered seedsoftime.net into the box. I performed a trace, ping, etc., and it all ends up reporting back with the IP address of my VPS.. so it seems to me like it's all configured properly, but apparently it is not.

Can anyone help me figure out what I did wrong here?

Ah, thanks for your help! I see now that the URL with the "www" doesn't work, but the URL without the "www" does work (just seedsoftime.net).

I just added an A name record with the name "www" pointing to the same IP address; hopefully that'll work.

edit: It worked!
