Route53
Provides Domain / DNS related services + health check if needed.
Steps to switch name server with existing Domain
- Create Hosted Zone in Route53. Enter domain that you own.
- Confirm 2 records generated after Hosted Zone creation. (NS, SOA)
- Go visit your Domain provider. In settings, change the name server with data provided by Route53 NS record
- Check if it has changed well with some sort of DNS Lookup service
- Add A record, which is your Host (server). Enter your IP.
- Wait until DNS caching updates. If it doesn’t show up for too long (it WILL take time, but usually a day or two should be enough.) if your settings were right with DNS Lookup or flush your cache (PC, browser, etc).
