Hi Everyone, newbie here. I have set up and redirected my domian with (AWS Route53) to Digital Ocean nameserver but I am still have problem with DNS resolution. I ran a demo app in Python (using Django) virtual environment but the page was unable to load with error message,’ Connection Timed Out’. Please see what I have setup on AWS and DO control panel. I will greatly appreciate your help. Thank you very much. AWS route 53: ns1.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com ns3.digitalocean.com
Digital Ocean: A record devparticle.com >>>>>> droplet ip_address NS devparticle.com >>>> ns1.digitalocean.com NS devparticle.com >>>> ns2.digitalocean.com NS devparticle.com >>>> ns3.digitalocean.com

@unixynet After following the information you provided, I was able to resolve my DNS. I greatly appreciate your input and thank you very much.
You don’t need to setup DNS at both Digitalocean and Route 53. One should do. But at either one of these there needs to be an A record defined to point at your droplet’s IP. Right now your domain’s whois info still shows AWS 53 as your name servers:
But the above name servers refuse to answer basic DNS queries against devparticle.com:
This means there’s a misconfiguration at Route 53’s end. That’s where I’d check things.
