Route 53 configuration issue

Question

I purchased a domain in .click. I configured an EC2 instance with a html page and started httpd.

I am able to access the html using the public ip of EC2 instance.

I created A record in Route 53 for my .click domain under pubic hosted zone and pointed it to EC2 instance. But the html page is not accessible using the domain name.

I tested the nslookup and dig using cloudshell. But getting error like "server cant find domain.click: NXDOMAIN"

What I'm doing wrong. Kindly assist.

Hello

Once registered a Domain in R53 you need to check the status of the domain if it is active or nor, Please check docs to check the [Domain status](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-view-status.html) , Once you see the Domain Is ACTIVE, test again.

Also check this [Knowledge center article](https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/route-53-dns-website-unreachable/) for additional troubleshooting steps.
