Brief diagnosis tying the thread together: building on ’s host‑header point and @c‑tech’s telnet suggestion, the fact that the machine responds to ICMP/SSH means the instance is reachable at the network layer. A blank page in a browser usually means the HTTP service itself is either blocked (security group / OS firewall), not listening on the public interface, or serving a default/empty site because the request’s Host header doesn’t match any configured virtual host.

Practical diagnostic sequence (fastest to most likely):

  1. From your workstation test HTTP while forcing the domain in the Host header:

    curl -I -H "Host: 100bestbuy.com" http://175.41.140.91/

    Also try simple TCP connect to port 80 (as @c‑tech suggested):

    telnet 175.41.140.91 80

    If curl/telnet fail to connect, the problem is a port block (security group or firewall).

  2. Check AWS and instance firewalls next. Confirm the EC2 security group has an inbound rule for TCP 80 (and 443 if needed) and the instance’s OS firewall allows those ports:

    # on Linux instance
sudo ss -ltnp | grep ':80'
sudo iptables -L -n
sudo ufw status

  3. If the port is open but the browser shows a blank/default page, inspect the web server configuration and logs. Verify the virtual host/server_name is set for 100bestbuy.com and the server is bound to 0.0.0.0 or the public IP. Typical log checks:

    # Apache
sudo tail -n 50 /var/log/apache2/error.log
# Nginx
sudo tail -n 50 /var/log/nginx/error.log

A quick local test if DNS is not pointing or Host header is the issue: temporarily add a hosts entry mapping the IP to 100bestbuy.com on your machine and re-test in the browser. Common fixes in threads like this: open port 80 in the EC2 security group, allow it in the instance firewall, ensure the webserver listens on the external interface, and set the vhost ServerName/server_name to the domain so requests by hostname return the correct site.

Are you experiencing this issue from only one computer, or a subnet, or from different locations? Did you try a different browser on your computer?

The site is obvisouly up since at least caperjack was able to access the page.

When it comes to troubleshooting web site issues, using the PING command is not the best test. For example, while you may get a response from pinging the host name, the fact that you receive a reply is an indication that the server is online and ICMP packets are allowed to flow between both systems. However, that is not an indication that the web server is working as expected. In addition, while a web server is functional, there could be issues at the web site level.

Accessing the web site via IP, is not going to work on a web server that host multiple websites that share a common IP address. In your case, if the web server has at least two web sites (it likely has hundreds) bound to the same IP, then the web server is using host headers to get the traffic routed to the correct website.
