You need to edit the zonefile and add an A rerecord for the root domain.

The syntax can be expressed two ways:

@        IN    A    212.4.208.107

or

domain.com.        IN    A    212.4.208.107

Add an A record to your zonefile as such:

robotics        IN    A    212.4.208.107

I had a look at your zonefile in your posting, as well as your screen
capture.

On the configuration manager in your browser, add records as such:

ifihada.com        212.4.208.107

If that doesn't work, try:

ifihada.com.        212.4.208.107

Else, try:

@        212.4.208.107

And, finally, add this record:

robotics        212.4.208.107
