How to point the domain name on amazon server ip address

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to point the domain name on the amazon server.

If we have domains in some other domain provider and server on amazon then we need to point that domain name to that server.

In order to do so, we need to configure the hosted zone on the amazon Amazon Route 53 service.

Amazon Route 53 is used to route end users to Internet applications by translating names like www.example.com into numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1

Go to the amazon console by login into it. Search the service Route 53.

Now click on Hosted zones under DNS management.

Under hosted zones, there is an option to Create hosted zone.

Add your domain name and click on Create hosted zone button to create it.

We can see the two records already created there. Now, we need to first Edit the first record of Type NS.

Now in the Value option at the right, add your server amazon address similar to this ec2-32-353-69-86.ca-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com.

Don't forget to add period(.) at the end of the address i.e

ec2-32-353-69-86.ca-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com.

Click the save button to save

Now we need to add the new record to point to the IP address. For this click Create record to add a new record of Type A and point to the amazon server IP address.
