How to set domains DNS correctly?

Question

My domain stackfer.com is not working.

1. I registered the domain with Google. 
2. Google migrated it to Squarespace. 
3. I migrated the domain under Route 53.

I deployed my project with Amplify, on generated domain by Amplify my project works fine, but not with custom domain: stackfer.com

1. When I try access it via browser I see that "Safari can't find the server" 
2. With DNSChecker.org I see that CNAME is not resolved. 
3. With mxtoolbox.com I see http request answer 200 ok.

Name Server values for hosted zones and in registered domains are the same. Rest of the values are "by default" from Route 53.

Thank you very much for any tip!

I suggest you confirm that the DNS zone is using the correct name servers.

Here's how: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/GetInfoAboutHostedZone.html

I can see that publicly, stackfer.com is pointing to these 4 name servers: ns-1010.awsdns-62.net, ns-1307.awsdns-35.org, ns-174.awsdns-21.com, ns-1938.awsdns-50.co.uk.
Are these the name servers listed in your DNS zone? If not, you need to update the registration.

>nslookup -type=soa stackfer.com
...
stackfer.com
        primary name server = ns-174.awsdns-21.com
        responsible mail addr = awsdns-hostmaster.amazon.com
        serial  = 1
        refresh = 7200 (2 hours)
        retry   = 900 (15 mins)
        expire  = 1209600 (14 days)
        default TTL = 86400 (1 day)

>nslookup -type=ns stackfer.com
...
stackfer.com    nameserver = ns-1010.awsdns-62.net
stackfer.com    nameserver = ns-1307.awsdns-35.org
stackfer.com    nameserver = ns-174.awsdns-21.com
stackfer.com    nameserver = ns-1938.awsdns-50.co.uk

what's the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) of the Application you're trying to access?  ie. myAmplifyProject.stackfer.com

Hello.

Looking at the domain propagation status results for the URL below, you can see that the CNAME record has not been propagated.  
https://www.nslookuptool.com/#CNAME&stackfer.com

We also confirmed that the domain was propagated only in some countries using NS records.  
https://www.nslookuptool.com/#NS&stackfer.com

It's possible that the domain is taking some time to propagate, so why not wait a little longer and check again?

Two options:
1. IP address correction
Please edit the IP address.
2. Edit Name Server under Route 53 
Under stackfer.com, there is an Action button, please edit the Name Server.

There is no mention about the certificate issue in your question.
