Issue updating domain name servers from BlueHost to AWS

Question

I am trying to migrate my site hosting from bluehost to AWS cloud based service.

I have the site up and running on AWS with an elastic IP configured, it loads fine when I specify the IP address in the browser.

I have gone into Route 53 on the AWS console and created a "hosted zone" for the domain. I then created a new record set of type "A" using the IP address as the value.

I have a domain name registered with bluehost. Ive logged into the bluehost account and updated the domain name servers to point to those specified in Route 53 in the AWS console.

When I hit the IP address directly the site loads, however it doesn't load when using the domain name (I get a google chrome oops error page saying page is not found)

I've tried using this site: http://dns.squish.net/ to debug but it seems to be giving me the correct results.

fizaclegems.com 300 IN  A   107.20.209.78

Where 107.20.209.78 matches the elastic IP configured in the AWS console. This is the result it gives for all 4 name servers.

Am I missing a step here? Does anyone know what else I should be doing or looking for?

I think you have it fixed, because when I click on your domain's name = I get your page:

You should view the domain using incognito mode, it's probably DNS cache showing the old site. In windows from a command prompt type ifconfig /flushdns and see if that helps. You've configured DNS correctly just need to let the cache flush out.
