I've created an SSL certificate via ACM and I'm attempting to validate it via DNS configuration.
I've got the CNAME record for the DNS configuration, but I've run into something that I'm not sure about. My registar, namecheap, won't allow me to set a CNAME on a domain while still keeping the custom DNS nameservers on the domain.
Eg.
ns-1281.awsdns
ns-1702.awsdns-26.co.uk
ns-211.awsdns-42.com
In order for AWS to validate the domain, would the DNS nameservers not need to be set in addition to the CNAME?
Thanks!
The nameservers you have listed are AWS nameservers, which means AWS is handling your DNS.
To manage your DNS head over to Route 53 in the AWS console, select Hosted Zones in the left hand menu, select the hosted zone for your domain, create a new Record Set, and create a CNAME record with the values indicated in ACM.

My Webservers are running on AWS.
I have created target groups and the load balancer.
I have the ALB domain but I want to customize that DNS to the Domain that is present in Cloudflare.
I wanna know how I can do that with the SSL certificates.
As I am not allowed to give CNAME records for the root domain. what are the other solution for this.
how can I route my traffic from the application load balancer to the domain present in Cloudflare?
CloudFlare has CNAME Flattening, which allows CNAME records on the root domain.
Here's my solution.
First we need to go to Route53 in aws console to create new hosted zone.
Then after we create the new hosted zone as per our given details, it will create an NS and SOA record in the R53.
WE need to add those NS records in our domain registrar. and then we need to create an Alias to our DNS which will Point to the ALB.
That's how we are able to create our customized domain name for the Application Load Balancer.
By Creating a hosted zone in R53 and adding the NS records to the domain registrar, we can delegate the DNS resolution of our custom domain to route53. Then by creating an alias to our ALB, we can map the custome domain to the ALB's DNS. This will allow us to access our ALB with our custom domain instead of using the ALB DNS.
IF THERE'S ANY OTHER SOLUTIONS THAN PLEASE FETCH YOUR ANSWERS.
I have a question related to Cloud Front.
If I have CF enabled with s3 origin in Account A, and then I create a Route 53 DNS records in Account B and point to the CF.
I will need to add alternate domain name in CF which in Account A and a certificate as well. Will ACM generate a certificate in the Account A when DNS entry hello.example.com is in another account ?
Yes ACM will be happy to generate any certificate you ask it to, but to verify the certificate to complete the creation process you will have to create a DNS entry in whatever DNS service you are using. You don't even need to be using Amazon's Route53 DNS service, you can use ACM with any DNS service.
ou can do the following steps
Create ACM in us-east-1 region of Account A.
Once step 1 is done, you will copy the CNAME record of that ACM and go to Account B to create the DNS record for that CNAME values and use DNS validation. Please keep in mind, e.g hello.example.com is your public domain and hosted in Route53.
Back to account A and wait a few seconds, then you will see the status of ACM is issued and you can attach that ACM to your CF in Account A.
What if I'm using Godaddy for Domain hosting and DNS management for our company website, but I want to use subdomains for services we've developed on AWS?
For example:
website.com is hosted and DNS managed on GoDaddy.
administrator.website.com is where we have the administration portion of our SaaS solution.
I have a Route53 hosted zone for administrator.website.com in AWS.
When I add the four administrator.pressurepro.us NS records into GoDaddy's Nameservers section, should I re-add the original 2 NameServers used by GoDaddy for website.com as well?
Will a visitor to website.com still get directed to our company website with all the DNS records in Godaddy managing the traffic?
Will a visitor to adminstrator.website.com go through AWS Route 53 (configured to point towards our EC2/Beanstalk)?
My SES domain and DKIM verification records for adminstration.website.com need to reside in Route53, correct?
Q1: I am not sure about GoDaddy, but if you want to delegate administrator sub-domain to route53, you just need to use the 4 NS values from your Route53 hosted zone.
Q2: Yes, everything not related to administrator.website.com will be handled by GoDaddy DNS.
Q3: Yes, everything related to administrator.website.com will be handled by Route53.
Q4: Yes, as it is managed by Route53.
I have a website stored in AWS S3 bucket which I am trying to connect to a domain now in Amazons' route 53 and I have followed the tutorials to the T. I transferred a domain from GoDaddy to amazon this morning, I wrongfully selected to keep GoDaddy's DNS settings while doing the transfer. The issue of why my website was not working was because during the transfer I kept their nameservers. I removed the GoDaddy NameServers in Route 53s Registered domains page with these 4 nameservers I found inside the record sets. I get a 404 error. How do I find the correct nameservers for my domain?
All hosted zones in Route53 contain an NS record entry with 4 values. Those are the values you would put in GoDaddy to have Route53 manage your domain.
I have a domain registered with godaddy.
On AWS, I've set up the instance, load balancer with SSL, and a public hosted zone.
I tried inputting the nameservers but I still need to input an A record. The problem is that godaddy won't allow me to put in the A record provided by AWS (dualstack.acthttp-617756314.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com.) instead it requires me to input an IP address only.
What value should I put for the A record, along with the 4 Route 53 nameservers to my domain point properly to my load balancer?
If you are using Route53 for the name servers, then setup the A record in Route53, not Godaddy. Route53 will allow you to setup an A record ALIAS that points to dualstack.acthttp-617756314.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com.
