Hello.
Can I connect to my Lightsail instance via SSH etc.?
Try connecting and making sure the web server process is running.
If it is not started, try starting it using the command described in the document below.
https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/faq/administration/control-services/
By the way, is the IP address "18.194.147.107" registered in the domain the IP address of the Lightsail instance?
If the IP address is incorrect, check the IP address from the Lightsail console and try configuring the domain again.

Hi,
I can see your website is loading now at the provided domain name. Please do share what the issue was or what worked for you, to help the rePost community :)
Thanks.

Please note that if you do not set a static IP address for Lightsail, the IP address will change when you restart Lightsail. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/lightsail-create-static-ip.html
Yes the IP is correct and its already connected to domain. Also tried the steps but still website is not opening: Got curl error curl: (28) Failed to connect to 1dollarwp.store port 80: Connection timed out
Are HTTP and HTTPS allowed on Lightsail's firewall? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/understanding-firewall-and-port-mappings-in-amazon-lightsail.html
Also, check the OS firewall.
You can also try SSHing into your Lightsail instance and using the following command to check if you can connect via HTTP.
Will I be able to connect if I take a snapshot of my Lightsail instance and restore the instance from the snapshot? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/understanding-instance-snapshots-in-amazon-lightsail.html
