Can't access my domain

Hey,

Keep in mind that after changing your nameservers, DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours. During this time, your domain might not be consistently reachable as the changes propagate throughout the internet.

You can use this tool provided by DigitalOcean to check the current status of your DNS propagation: DigitalOcean DNS Tool.

Next, ensure that you’ve added your domain to your DigitalOcean dashboard. If it’s not added, the DNS settings won’t take effect. Once added, verify that your A record is pointing to the correct IP address of your DigitalOcean droplet. The A record is crucial as it directs your domain to the server’s IP address.

Additionally, it’s good to check if you have any firewalls or security settings that might be blocking access to your domain. Make sure your server is configured to respond to requests on the standard web ports (80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS).

If after 48 hours your site is still not reachable, feel free to share more details about your setup and I will be happy to help further.

Best,

Bobby
