Question

I created an elastic IP so the public IP would be fixed. I then attached the A type with @ name in Godaddy and the 4 servers for custom nameservers as you can see in the picture. When I type in my domain URL i bought in godaddy, like e.g. myhotdog.com, it resolves to my wordpress site i installed in that EC2 instance but then it changes back to the IP like e.g. '18.xx.xx.220'.

What am i not doing right here!?

Thanks, Dhivash

Whats in your address settings in Wordpress? Did you set your domain name in Wordpress itself? — B. Miller, May 28 '18 at 14:53

Most likely you need to configure Wordpress to use the hostname, with SiteAdress and WordPress Adress
