DNS server query by the registry of my domain name is fine. But browser cannot fetch my website by its address

When I query my DNS server by the website of the the registry of .com** top-level domains, I can see that my DNS server is found:

Query
Domain: example**.com**
Answer:
Following name-servers have been defined in **NIC DNS for your domain:

1. ns.example**.com**

IP addresses defined for NS servers in **NIC DNS (glue records):

1. ns.example**.com**. *4.*41.2*.1*4

Name Server: "ns.example**.com**"
List of defined name-servers in this name server is SYNC with the list of name-servers which has been defined in **NIC name-server.

List of name-server from this server:

1. ns.example**.com**

SOA detail from this server:

localhost. root.localhost. (
                    2021053002  ; Serial
                    10800   ; Refresh
                    3600    ; Retry
                    604800  ; Expire
                    86400 ) ; Minimum TTL

But on any network, the web browsers are not able to show my website by its example**.com** address.

What are my options to debug my DNS server? Thanks!

These are usually much easier to figure out by adding your **full domain name** in an (optionally pseudonymous) question here and/or some automatic checks like https://dnsviz.net/

The server OS is openSUSE Tumbleweed 32-bit and its DNS server was already configured by YAST2. Taking a look at /etc/named.conf indicates the named working directory:

options {

        # The directory statement defines the name server's working directory

        directory "/var/lib/named";

Also /etc/named.conf indicates the zone file relative to the working directory:

zone "example.com" in {
        allow-transfer { any; };
        file "master/example.comXX";
        type master;
};

Before

/var/lib/named/master/example.comXX content was:

$TTL 2d
@               IN SOA          localhost.      root.localhost. (
                                2021062000      ; serial
                                3h              ; refresh
                                1h              ; retry
                                1w              ; expiry
                                1d )            ; minimum

example.com.  IN NS           ns.example.com.
example.com   IN A            4.21.3.12
ns              IN A            4.21.3.12

After

Modified /var/lib/named/master/example.comXX content according to the example here:

https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/service-domain-name-service-dns

New /var/lib/named/master/example.comXX after modification is:

$TTL 2d
@               IN SOA          example.com.  root.example.com. (
                                2021062000      ; serial
                                3h              ; refresh
                                1h              ; retry
                                1w              ; expiry
                                1d )            ; minimum

@       IN NS           ns.example.com.
@       IN A            4.21.3.12
@       IN AAAA         ::1
ns      IN A            4.21.3.12

Having modified the /var/lib/named/master/example.comXX like above, now the website can be browsed by its address.

if this is a public valid domain, then one name servers will not work. if it's a dev domain then you need also to force ssl

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
