Did you follow the [INSTALL-cloud](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md) instructions?

When I enter the domain name that is in app.yml it gives me this error “This site can’t be reached”. What should I do?

You need to go to your registrar and create an `A` record that points from your domain name to the IP of your site.
