title: traceroute: unknown host and whois with unknown registrar
body: <p>I have a domain, originally from GoDaddy, eventually transferred to AWS; it's under Registered Domains in Route53.
  The status is "clientTransferProhibited", which is one of the "ok" statuses, and the domain is not yet expired (good until 2020-07-12) </p>
  
  <p>But it stopped working at some point (not sure exactly when or why). It used to, I had it point to a bunch of different EC2 instances, an S3 website, used it with and without subdomains, no problems, until I recently tried to use it with a Digital Ocean droplet (just put the IP in the Record Set as an A record), and discovered it's no longer working. Pings just time out, traceroute hangs.</p>
  
  <p>I checked whois - and the results confused me, because it's saying the registrar is some Gandi SAS. Never heard the name before; I own a couple other domains, and they show Godaddy in the Registrar part of whois response, as expected. After domain was transferred to AWS, I expect AWS tp show up as a registrar.</p>
  
  <p>Name Servers listed in whois response seem to be correct though - same as I see in the Domain section in Route53, and same as are listed in Value of type NS  in the Hosted Zone.</p>
  
  <p>and yet: traceroute: unknown host alexakarpov.xyz
  =|</p>
  
  <p>what am I doing wrong?</p>
