Digital Ocean - setup never finds hostname

I’ve tried numerous times, however when Discourse set up checks the hostname, it NEVER finds it accessible on either 443 or 80.

This is even though I’ve used the standard Digital Ocean set up which states these ports are open.

I’ve checked DNS for the sub domain I’m trying to using dnschecker.org and all looks ok.

However when I try set up the same always comes back:

"Checking your domain name . . .

WARNING:: This server does not appear to be accessible at surf-restart.bigspin.co.uk:443.
A connection to http://surf-restart.bigspin.co.uk (port 80) also fails."

Just testing at the moment, but the Droplet is at 174.138.62.208 and the test domain is surf-restart.bigspin.co.uk

Can anyone help, all I’m looking to do at this stage is try out Discourse, I’m 4 hours in already and got nowhere!

Thanks

Looks like you have some DNS issues.
Domain and subdomain are unresponsive on my side, nor in mxtoolbox.com.

You should check where you manage the domain if everything is correct.
If you changed the DNS recently, you should likely wait everything is propagated, up to 48h.
