IP Address not found on route 53 domain

I'm starting out on AWS and try to host a website on the platform. The S3 bucket and its content is set up and i'm able to access the website via the url s3 is providing.

Permissions and properties are set to accept public traffic and that the bucket is used to host a website. The index document is correct.

Now i want traffic to be redirected to my domain visionranger.com, but it shows the error "IP address could not be found"

I tested this issue on 4 different devices across multiple browsers (including Chrome, Safari and Firefox).

Bucket, domain and hosted zone do have the same name and as AWS recommends, I asked my previous provider if they transferred the dns services to the new provides (in this case route 53) and they did.

I waited longer than 48 hours after settings everything up before writing this so all services should be working by now - but they don't.

The image shows the dns records of route 53.

I am grateful for any help.

Solution

  • By running a DIG command to get the NS value of your domain it returns a SERVFAIL indicating that the configured nameservers for your domain do not contain the record for you domain.

    The next step is to run a whois which indicates your configured nameservers are below:

    • NS1.BDM.MICROSOFTONLINE.COM
    • NS2.BDM.MICROSOFTONLINE.COM
    • NS3.BDM.MICROSOFTONLINE.COM
    • NS4.BDM.MICROSOFTONLINE.COM

    As you're trying to use a Route 53 public hosted zone you will need to update your domain registrar to use the nameservers found under the NS record of the public hosted zone.

    Follow the instructions here for your specific domain.
