Issue updating domain name servers from BlueHost to AWS
- by cowls
I am trying to migrate my site hosting from bluehost to AWS cloud based service.
I have the site up and running on AWS with an elastic IP configured, it loads fine when I specify the IP address in the browser.
I have gone into Route 53 on the AWS console and created a "hosted zone" for the domain. I then created a new record set of type "A" using the IP address as the value.
I have a domain name registered with bluehost. Ive logged into the bluehost account and updated the domain name servers to point to those specified in Route 53 in the AWS console.
When I hit the IP address directly the site loads, however it doesn't load when using the domain name (I get a google chrome oops error page saying page is not found)
I've tried using this site: http://dns.squish.net/ to debug but it seems to be giving me the correct results.
fizaclegems.com 300 IN A 107.20.209.78
Where 107.20.209.78 matches the elastic IP configured in the AWS console. This is the result it gives for all 4 name servers.
Am I missing a step here? Does anyone know what else I should be doing or looking for?
