I have an issue, or perhaps an understanding problem with linking my domain with AWS. I will use the xy.ro domain as an example.
I have the xy.ro domain registered with easyhost.com. On AWS I have a node.js express web app.
My xy.ro domain is not working as it does not point to anything.
I tried to create a hosted zone on AWS with the xy.ro domain and tried to create a dataset for this domain but it does not work.
I tried to find step by step instructions also on AWS and other providers but I did not find anything.
Can someone point me into the right direction?
If your domain xy.ro is registered with easyhost.com then it would presumably also be using their DNS hosting service to serve your DNS records.
Creating a public hosted zone in AWS won't affect the DNS resolution unless you can migrate your name servers to use Route 53.
I was not able to see steps from easyhost.com website, however from the AWS side take a look at this documentation.
You should be able to copy the name servers and update within easyhost so that it will use Route 53 as your DNS provider instead.

Hej!
I own a domain registered through GCP and it's connected with Cloud DNS in GCP, I would be very happy if you could help me setup my custom domain for my web page at buahaha.github.io.
I think I know how to do this, because I did it before with other domain(s), but this time something is not working as it should. I have set up even a TXT record, and it does not propagate through DNS servers, and the same goes for my CNAME record. I attach screenshots of my setup below.
It's strange to me as it is the basic setup for this kind of service, and I'm really confused...

In addition to #blacha answer, here are some links and guidance. Once you use Cloud Domain to register a domain, there is an option where you can use which DNS provider that you use for your domain. These are Cloud DNS, Google Domains and Custom Name servers.
If by chance you get confused which DNS server that you are using I suggest to DIG your domain to see which name server that you are using just to make sure you are using the correct DNS server.
Since this concern choses Cloud DNS here is the link that you can follow on how to create zone, configure A record connecting to the domains IP address and creating Cname record for the subdomain that you desire.
The problem was that I had to explicitly choose Cloud DNS as my DNS provider. If you have set your DNS zone already, just choose it from the drop-down menu, otherwise create your own...
I have been trying to host our php website using Elastic Beanstalk however I had no luck under Hosted Zones. Domain is registered with the same AWS account.
Things I did:
Created a hosted zone named mycustomdomain.com
Created a A type record set with ALIAS to my environment. (Selected through drop down of AWS itself.)
The domain name of EB Environment
environmentname.randomclashofcharacters.region.elasticbeanstalk.com
assigned by AWS works flawlessly so I can say that there is nothing wrong with the config at Elastic Beanstalk side of things.
I followed through the guide uploaded by AWS themselves
I see one weird thing that might be causing that. The name servers listed under domain name is different from ones listed in Hosted Zone. Should I change them. AWS guide doesn't says to do so, so I didn't do it.
Thanks for your help beforehand.

Thanks to corrective help from #heplalump the problem is resolved. I actually needed to make domain's name-servers same with the hosted zones. Still cannot reach from desktop Safari but reachable via chrome and iPhone safari. If you want to do this procedure for yourself just follow the guide amazon provided.
I'm new AWS and I have to continue maintaining previous developer service that is hosted on AWS. The ec2 instance that is hosted has map to domain name of https://****c.k**g.g***an.org.au, however I couldn't find this domain name anywhere. I tried looking at route53, but there's no such domain name registered.
Please help, how do I find the domain name that is mapped to the EC2 instance? Where can I get that information. The reason because I want to deploy a new instance but with the same domain name.
Edit: Masking DNS for privacy reasons.
Are you sure your DNS is hosted by Route53? Running dig against k***.g****.org.au has the SOA held by ns1.mooball.net.
The whois for mooball.net returns register.com as the owner, so I would consider reaching out to your internal teams to see who holds that account, then check your DNS delegation settings by logging in to register.com.
Often times the client will control their own DNS, so it would also be worth confirming with your client where their root DNS (garvan.org.au) is hosted - you can then trace the subdomain delegation to see where it is ultimately hosted.
check route53 service in AWS , since the domain is served by https..it could be the domain mapped to a load balancer and the load balancer has the instance...anyway you can know from the route53 there you find all the records
I bought a domain (let's say example.com) from google domains a couple of days back, but found out their web hosting is terrible. They only allow me use one of their partner hosting services. I want a simple ssh/ftp based web hosting service, where I can simply dump the html files.
So, I turned to AWS webservices to host my website. Everything works well, until I want to assign it a domain name. AWS assigned me a domain like "mytest-bucket.com.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/", but I want to use my bought domain.
AWS allows me to buy a new domain from it, but I already have one (example.com), and want to make AWS host my website under that domain name.
Apologies if this is a newbie mistake/question but I am new to commercial web-hosting.
There is a option in AWS Route53 where you can transfer domain to AWS. Check this guide.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-transfer-to-route-53.html
Another way is you can change the DNS servers to Route53. Check this guide.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/MigratingDNS.html
Another option is you can add "mytest-bucket.com.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com" as a C-name to your domain in Google and your domain "example.com" will start showing the website.
I am new in the Amazon EC2 world, I just created an app, that is located URL like this:
http://ec2-54-123-45-678.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080
This is generated URL by Amazon EC2.
Now I would need to use my own domain name, so when I would access www.my-domain-name.com, I would like to see the content from
http://ec2-54-123-45-678.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080
I bought the domain name on Godaddy.
Is there any way to do this in Amazon AWS dashboard or do I need to set it up in Godaddy system?
Thanks
I am answering on a more general level because I stumbled upon this thread when setting my custom domain.
In Amazon I created an instance and associated an IP to that instance. You were able to access it by typing in the amazon url
I actually used Media Temple not GoDaddy, but it will be similar. I went to the zone file and added that public url to the www
And as you can see, here is my blog actually working on the custom domain.
I set the wildcard because that way, no matter what someone types, if it is not set, then they will still see the site.
EDIT
For the root URL you should be entering your elastic IP and setting that as an A record.
First you need to set an ElasticIP for associated to that instance.
Then point the DNS entry of "www" for "my-domain-name.com" to the IP assigned in the step above.
Where you manage your DNS is another thing, can be in GoDaddy or in AWS Route53. You must adjust the delegation DNS in the "my-domain-name.com" register. Ex: your domain can be registered with GoDaddy but its delegation DNS point to Route53 so you can manage the domain from your AWS Console.
In order to setup DNS mapping you can map the existing IP 54.123.45.678 to ex: www.my-domain-name.com.
However, as you are running tomcat which is running at 8080 you need to forward the the request to the tomcat using Apache. So that you can visit www.my-domain-name.com without port 8080. If you are using linux box install Apache, apache-modjk and then configure sites.
