Apache is generally set up to use name based virtual hosting. It is therefore
important that you access the site using the hostname the VirtualHost in Apache
is configured to use. If you don't then Apache will fallback to using whatever
is the first VirtualHost in the Apache configuration which often would be the
default pages for the Linux distribution.
Rather than a web browser (in case it is doing DNS/IP caching), you would be
better to test with:
curl -L -H Host:www.dimsum.uk <http://www.dimsum.uk/> https://139.162.163.35
or "http" if not a secure site.
