Hi Nick,
To diagnose the issue, try the following steps.
-
To connect your domain to your EC2 instance, ensure you’ve created an A record in your Domain name DNS settings that points to your EC2 instance’s public IP address.
-
Double-check that your EC2 security group allows traffic on port 80 HTTP and port 443 HTTPS.
-
Test accessing your app via the EC2 public IP to ensure it's working correctly.
-
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, so use a tool like DNS Checker https://dnschecker.org/ to monitor the status.
-
If the domain still isn’t working after this period, Clear your local DNS cache by running ipconfig /flushdns on Windows or restarting your browser.

Looks like the domain matsure.co.ke isnt owned by anyone and hasnt been registered yet.
No, I purchased the domain from Truehost on 24th.
But I have just contacted them and they've told me to wait for 24 hrs for it to propagate.
The domain is up and running now on Authoritative DNS servers. Did yo u solve your isssue ?

Thank you for this. I have done all of the above configurations. Now checking on the DNS status, they all show red x.
DNS issues with a red X status verify your DNS records and nameservers, ensure correct security settings on your EC2 instance, and check DNS propagation can I know your domain name. could you please check dig command you can get more information
