Alright so I have a normal server with a normal setup. All I wanted was 
`http://gitlab.mydomain.com` to respond to requests.

Problem: All requests to `.mydomain.com` respond with nginx welcome page.

Solution: It's not in the guide, but the first step is to remove the 
site-enabled default symlink: `sudo rm /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default`

Problem: All requests to `.mydomain.com` respond with gitlabs (close, but 
not great!)

Solution:

  1. Edit nginx settings file: `sudo editor /etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
  2. Add this snippet in the `http {}` directive anywhere above the 
`include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;`   

server {

                listen *:80 default_server;

                server_name .mydomain.com; # Your FQDN with a period in 
> front

                return 404;

        }

  3.  Remove the `default_server` from your gitlab nginx server block (This 
should probably be changed in the install process).

Now only your specifically chosen server_name will respond with gitlab.
