pointing Namechaep domain to the aws lightsail instance(wordpress)


I am new with AWS and i have created the wordpress site on AWS LightSail Instance and created a static IP on the instance for it

Screenshot of the instance:

Now my domain is on Namecheap. and i want to connect it with my lightsail Instance.

I have created DNS Zone on the Lightsail > networking tab

screenshot of dns zone:

and i have added the Nameservers on the NC domain and they are configured correctly as whois.domaintools.com says that the Nameserver have been updated

but the website is still down and error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN displays on the screen. I know there will be very simple fix to it but I am such a noob with AWS.

Please let me know if I am missing anything. Thanks in advance

  • thanks! I created A record in the DNS zone and put "@" in the subdomain and my static IP in the Ip address
