    dbloc (or anyone else that may have done this)... about how long did your DNS take to propagate when moving to AWS (and did you have any issues w/the transfer in general?)

    It's been nearly 48 hours... still have a dead website (and an ansty client)

    What's weird is the site is showing itself on my iphone correctly (the new website)... BUT I have to verify I trust the site first in order to view it. On my desktop / laptop / tablet I just get an 'ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT' response from the server.

    Any guidance would be appreciated... thanks in advance. <3

      it's a lightsail instance... I've created my static IP, DNS zone and A record and redirected my registrar to the 4 custom addresses provided...      PonyBoy
    • ... when I created the DNS zone. Again - I see the site now on my iphone... but it's dead everywhere else.PonyBoy
    • out of fear of what some of the lurkers who dislike me might do to my client (lots of forms on the site) I don't feel confident sharing the url here :/PonyBoy
    • ^good call, yeah clear your DNS cachemoldero

    • try a server restart too just for shits & gigglesdbloc
    • It could be a number of things. obviously the IP works just fine, right? Is this a static website, wordpress, ?dbloc
    • I'm almost there... the old site had an SSL cert. I went ahead and installed a free 'Let's Encrypt' cert. and it seems to have done the trick...PonyBoy
    • ... I wouldn't have thought to look at that as the issue w/out dbloc asking... so thank you!!PonyBoy
    • You're welcome. Let's Encrypt is great that's what we use for all our clients.dbloc
    • you can set it to auto-renewdbloc
