So I was to host my main website with Wix, but I want to maintain subdomains in AWS. For example:
example.com -> Wix website
api.example.com -> Load balancer
How can this be accomplished? Thanks in advance!
[Edit] I should mention that the domain is not registered with Wix. It’s actually registered with Google, and the DNS is configured for AWS
I believe you'll need to create a third-level domain (often called a "subdomain") name A record in Wix DNS.
Is this the same scenario here: How to add a subdomain pointing to IP of EC2 instance in AWS where the domain is pointing to the IP of the machine of some other hosting provider?
Thanks,
Daniel

I created an Instance (Windows Server 2016) within AWS and the domain URL amazon gave me as below:
ec2-10-212-103-15.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com
Then, to create a subdomain I went to Route53 (https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/home#Dashboard)
Here is the picture of my configurations:
But I still cannot open http://uat.ec2-10-212-103-15.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/
(Note: The IP is made-up)
What do I need more to do?
Thanks
You're getting it wrong. Route53 is for custom domains you purchase from any of source (GoDaddy, Amazon, Namecheap naming a few).
The URL ec2-10-212-103-15.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com you've mentioned isn't the domain name. It is actually DNS to your server. If your instance is not behind a NAT gateway then you can directly access it through ec2-10-212-103-15.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com else you need to place a load balancer with public accessibility or place instance behind an internet gateway.
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 have a simple question for pointing my Bigrock Domain name to Amazone EC2.
I have Created HostedZone from Hostedzone-create link
I got 4 name servers.
Now what?
Suppose my domain name is example.com on Bigrock.com.
Can anyone explain me how can i point that domain name to EC2?
I asked to Bigrock support but they told me something like this:
The website is not working because the DNS zone for your domain is not
configured properly on your Hosting providers DNS servers ( AWS Server
). Please get in touch with your provider for further assistance.
But I am not getting what they want to say. Please help!!
To move your Name Servers to AWS Route 53 first you have to change the Name Servers in Bigrock follow this steps.
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/lets-get-started/dns-name-servers/how-to-change-name-servers-with-bigrock
Once that is done go to AWS Route 53 and create two record sets one for the "naked domain" and another for "www" domain and add a A-Record to point to the EC2 IP address (Be Sure the IP address is Elastic just in case for future change in IP address of the server so that you are covered).
This is Route 53 Guide
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/resource-record-sets-creating.html
Now, you will go to your bigrock.com and find your domain. Change the default name servers information with that 4 name servers information provided by Route53 on amazon. save your changes and wait for few hours to be activated properly.
I am using EC2 Amazon Web services, and also I am using route 53. My domain example.com is not resolving, I can see the website if I type elastic IP address. How can I solve this problem. Thanks in advance,
A very nicely written steps to do the config :
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/swh/getting-started-configure-route53.html
Because you did not add what you have done so far in the route 53, I have to ask below general question and you can verify if you have done these.
Have you created a hosted zone?
Have you added type A record in your recordset to point example.com to your EIP?
Have you created cname for your www.example.com?
Have you logged in your domain name registrar site and updated the nameservers provided by route 53?
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.
