Domain name not Pointing to Static IP

0

I have a Domain with Godaddy (Trakyworld.com). I have updated its nameservers to AWS NS. DNS Records are OK. A Records shows Domain name Trakyworld.com linked to Static IP 43.205.189.227 . I can Access the website using static IP, But not using domain name. Problem started after I changed the domain assignment of my lightsail wordpress instance. It was linked to pbthreads.in, but it changed it to trakyworld.com. How do I resolve this. Please Help. Thank you!

Based on the information you've provided, it seems you're experiencing a DNS propagation issue after changing your domain assignment in Lightsail. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

  1. Verify DNS propagation: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally. It's possible that the changes haven't fully propagated yet. You can use online DNS lookup tools to check if the new DNS records are visible from different locations.

  2. Double-check DNS records: Ensure that the A record for trakyworld.com is correctly pointing to your Lightsail static IP (43.205.189.227). Verify this in your Lightsail DNS zone.

  3. Confirm nameserver changes: Make sure that the nameserver changes at GoDaddy have been applied correctly. The nameservers should be set to the AWS nameservers provided by Lightsail.

  4. Check Lightsail DNS zone: Verify that you have created a DNS zone in Lightsail for trakyworld.com and that all necessary records are properly configured.

  5. Clear local DNS cache: Sometimes, your local machine may cache old DNS information. Try clearing your browser cache and local DNS cache.

  6. Test with different networks: Access the website using the domain name from a different network or device to determine if the issue is localized or global.

  7. Verify Lightsail instance configuration: Ensure that your WordPress instance is properly configured to respond to requests for trakyworld.com. Check your WordPress settings and web server configuration.

  8. Wait for propagation: If you've recently made these changes, it's advisable to wait for at least 24-48 hours for full DNS propagation.

If the issue persists after trying these steps and waiting for DNS propagation, you may want to contact AWS support for further assistance. They can help you identify any potential misconfigurations in your Lightsail setup or DNS records.

Seems to be resolving now. Must have been due to your change of authoritative NS records in your registrar. Such changes have long propagation time.
