Either add ub1010ser01.domain.com to /etc/hosts on the host, or create a DNS record for it.

Create an A or CNAME record on the authoritative nameservers for domain.com.

Whether you meant to do it on domain register's website?

Could you please explain in more detail? Thanks.

You can find out the authoritative nameservers for your domain like this:

dig ns yourdomain.com
