Route 53 Domain Name Setup

Route 53 Domain Name Setup

https://awstutorialseries.com/

This tutorial goes over setting up your domain name to point to Route 53 as well as how to create an A and CNAME record for your site! In my example I had my website purchased through fatcow but the same principles apply to anywhere you purchase a domain. It’s possible to also purchase your domain names through Route 53 as well which I would recommend but I went under the assumption most people have purchased their sites elsewhere.

    Hi, Someone registered a domain for me on AWS and I want to transfer it to my service provider. I am told that I need an EPP Authentication Code and he says he can’t locate it on AWS. How can one access a .com EPP Authentication Code on AWS?

    I had used lightsail to setup my lamp stack which was working when I went directly to the IP address. It was loading from /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs. Immediately after following these instructions all traffic to the ip address goes to /var/www/html/ it does open the apache page, but now my database connection doesn’t work. Is there a way to make it load from /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs again? I was also hoping to host multiple websites and having a folder for each within /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs. Any advice is greately appreciated.

    great video. I got a question. I have a static website with with one php contact form page and i have all files on S3 but of course there it doesn’t recognize my php file. Is EC2 my only option or can i use a server on S3 somehow? EC2 is so complicate!

    I have what might be a simple question. I have three domains that all have DNS hosting with Amazon Route 53. I happened to do a Reverse IP Lookup and noticed that all three domain IP addresses are almost identical. Example: 205.251.193.XX. Why are they all practically identical? Are they all practically Identical because I’m using my AWS account for DNS hosting?

    Thank you



  18. Hummed Yousaf Baig on December 24, 2021 at 3:24 pm

    Lets say i have a wordpress instance running on ec2 and i want to link up that instance with the route53 domain i have registered. I have tried the same technique multiple times creating the same A record with the instance IP but it never routes to the domain name to my wordpress blog. What could be the reason and how could that be done. And additionally, if i want to have a SSL certificate issued by AWS and i put in the load balancer and link the load balancer with the instance and create an A record with the load balancer as reference it doesnt work either. What should i do?

  22. Alfred Malam on December 24, 2021 at 3:27 pm

    How come you hoped on the part where you go to Hostgator and add those records instead you show a screenshot of it? What about how to actually add those records on your DNS area of Hostgator? That is a very important area you just skipped

  26. Benedikt Roßgardt on December 24, 2021 at 3:30 pm

    Thanks for that easy tutorial!
    What is missing is that you need to allow inbound connections via port 80 for your instance.



  27. Nuri Hiroyuki on December 24, 2021 at 3:34 pm

    Simply awesome video, I just copied it 🙂



  44. jack2ky on December 24, 2021 at 3:47 pm

    Is this free considering that I don’t have any running instances? I think this https://aws.amazon.com/route53/pricing/ says it’s 50 cents a month. Then it says something about 50 dollars a month, but that is under traffic flow. not sure what Traffic Flow is. Any was I wondering if you can explain the pricing. it is confusing.



  45. Ayaan Panda on December 24, 2021 at 3:51 pm

  50. Marcello Pato on December 24, 2021 at 4:01 pm

    Hello! My question is about the IP address. Does not the IP change when restarting the instance? Should I re-configure it again?
