title: Amazon Route53 domain not linking to Lightsail
body: <p>I'm a complete newbie to networking so bear with me.  FYI I am using the pre-bundled Ubuntu 16.04 instance on Amazon Lightsail.  I am building a Django project.</p>
  
  <p>I have a domain registered on Route53 that I am trying to link to my Lightsail project.  I created a <a href="https://i.gyazo.com/04b0432274f659474fad409e2d1fd81b.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DNS zone</a> and <a href="https://i.gyazo.com/5e8f421c3e703e058521792e3efc4ab3.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">static IP</a> following the Lightsail docs.  Then I created the appropriate <a href="https://i.gyazo.com/0d3312171de403c8deebf5d0f8e00d4b.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">A and NS records</a> in the Hosted Zone in Route53.</p>
  
  <p>But when I run the Django server from the command line, using port <code>0.0.0.0:8000</code> (after doing <code>sudo ufw allow 8000</code>), I cannot connect to <code>bungol.com:8000</code>.  I used <a href="https://ip-lookup.net/domain.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> website to check if <code>bungol.com</code> is correctly linked but it seems there is no ip address attached to the domain.</p>
  
  <p>So I have 2 questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Firstly, why is this not working?</li>
  <li>Secondly, how do I go about troubleshooting such an issue?  There are so many things here that could have caused the issue and I'm clueless as to how I should start solving the problem.</li>
  </ol>
