Domain does not respond

Hi, I just bought a domain and assigned it to linode and it looks active. However, domain does not respond when I go to the link. How many hours should I wait for complete active?

Okay guys I found the solution. I have https and I deployed my server at port 80, and I searched, it is for http. So I changed it to https port, 443. Now it works correctly. I have my website on the internet with my own domain, yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!

check:
https://st-cloud.co

Now I need SSL certificate :)

Um… what is the domain URL?

We want to help but we are not mind-readers here :-)

Also, pointing your registrar to Linode's name servers is not enough. You have to set up all manner of A/AAAA, CNAME, MX, RDNS, etc records at at Linode. That doesn't happen automagically when you create a Linode.

my domain:
st-cloud.co
When I assigned it to linode my A/AAAA Records automatically filled.
And also I bought it from namecheap.com then I wrote nameservers on this website. I mean everything looks correct. I can reach my server using IP, but not using domain.

my MX is filled
CNAME is empty and I dont see RDNS

Here's what I get:

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not

how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.

That's about as far as I can go…

Guys thanks for answers, and I finally got my valid ssl certificate using certbot. It is totally secure. I am too happy right now.

https://st-cloud.co

But I dont use any tools like apache, nginx, wsgi. Do you think it is going to be a problem?
