I would like to point my Elastic Beanstalk application to a specific domain app.company.com. To do it (according to AWS Guide), I have to create Route 53 Hosted Zone for this mapping. The problem is that I cannot change the name servers for the company.com. However, I would still like to use app.company.com for my Elastic Beanstalk. Are there any other ways to achieve this?
You'll have to go onto your domain registrar and add app.company.com there. Then add a CNAME to point to the Elastic beanstalk endpoint.
You can't use Route53 without moving the nameservers to point to AWS

I have a couple of ECS tasks running in Fargate behind an ALB. I want to use a custom domain for the ALB so I created a hosted zone and an A record that points to the ALB but when navigating to the record name I get the "This page isn't working error". Is it mandatory to register the domain via the Route 53 or any other registrar or is the hosted zone and record enough for it to work? We have other ALBs with custom domains and when I navigate to the url the site comes up just fine. Settings look like mine so I am not sure if those are using a different registrar, which my hunch says they do.
Thanks for the help!
Is it mandatory to register the domain via the Route 53 or any other registrar or is the hosted zone and record enough for it to work?
The hosted zone is not enough for it to work. You absolutely have to register the domain with a domain registrar. You have to own the custom domain you are trying to use. You can use any registrar, not just Route53. You have to configure your Route53 hosted zone's NS records with the domain registrar before the hosted zone will work.
I have deployed an application with Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk service, now it runs in http://sample-env-1.abcde.us-east-1.elasticbeanstalk.com/home, and now I want to point my domain name (registered with name.com) to this application. I created a hosted zone with Route 53, which gives me 4 namespaces, is it enough to add these records in my domain registrar's console?
I feel like I'm missing something since I didn't tell which application should this hosted zone be relevant to (since I can have multiple applications). How do I do that?
Thanks,
Your way of doing it is right.
Type the domain name in Hosted Zone of Amazon Route 53 Management console.
And from your domain provider console point your domain to your Elastic Beanstalk environment namespace. Amazon will handle the rest, if the setup is done correctly.
As stated in the manual:
When an Amazon Route 53 DNS server receives a name request for your
custom domain name, it resolves to the elasticbeanstalk.com subdomain,
which resolves to the public DNS name of your Elastic Load Balancing
load balancer, which relays requests to the instances in your
environment.
Please refer to the Elastic Beanstalk manual for more information: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/customdomains.html
I have my custom domain xxx.com.pl I would like to run a service on Elastic Beanstalk. How should I configure my domain. Should I use my Elastic Load Balancer DNS:
awseb-e-k-AWSEBLoa-xxx.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com
or environment URL:
xxx.asdasdasda.eu-central-1.elasticbeanstalk.com
If I select environment URL I can always create another environment and use swap URLs for recovery. I cannot do this easy way If I select ELB DNS. Probably usage of ELB DNS is faster. Am I right? What is the best practice?
Create a CNAME record to point to the Load Balancer: awseb-e-k-AWSEBLoa-xxx.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com
However if you are using Route 53, create an A record and use Alias=Yes to point to your Elastic Beanstalk app. This type of Alias resolution incurs no charge in Route 53.
Interestingly, AWS Elastic Beanstalk Adds Support for Amazon Route 53 Aliasing suggests that either name is now acceptable.

Your Elastic Beanstalk Environment's Domain Name
I have a domain name registered with tmdhosting.com. And I have created a WordPress multisite setup on AWS using bitnami WordPress multisite stack.
Now I would like to point my domain name from my registrar to my AWS instance. Where they are asking me to provide them with a NS. I am new to AWS and I am not sure as to how to go about doing this.
Also did a little bit of research where it said that I will need a Route 53 (which is not free) I would want to know if there is another way to do this.
Can I use CloudFront to do this as with my previous provider had given me a cloudflare name server.
Please let me know the steps as to how to go about doing this.
To point a Domain Name to an EC2 instance, you can either use Route 53 or your own DNS service. In both cases:
Assign an Elastic IP address to your EC2 instance
In Route 53 or your own DNS service, define a domain/subdomain that points to this IP address
The above assumes that you wish to point to a single EC2 instance. If you have multiple instances with a Load Balancer in front, you will require a CNAME record pointing to the DNS name of the Load Balancer. (If using Route 53, using the "ALIAS" button to point to a Load Balancer.)
Route 53 is not free, but it is very cheap. If correctly configured to point to AWS resources, it can cost only 50c/month per hosted zone.
CloudFront is a content distribution network that caches web content. It will not assist you in assigning a Domain Name to an EC2 instance. (Custom domain names can be used with CloudFront, but that doesn't appear to be your particular question.)
I have a domain registered with namecheap and its DNS records are managed by AWS Route 53. Currently the domain points to a regular EC2 instance. I'd like to get a subdomain set up pointing to a separate EC2 instance (specifically, an Elastic Beanstalk instance). I've got the Beanstalk instance set up (so if I visit the elastic IP for that instance, everything works fine).
THe problem is, all the docs I've seen on adding a subdomain to Route 53 imply that the parent domain's DNS records are still managed by the registrar. I'm unclear as to where I need to add the new NS records for the subdomain in order to have it point to the right thing.
Here is an example of a domain hosted at namecheap.com, DNS handled by route 53, website hosted on aws ec2 instance and the email server is hosted at Rackspace email.
Your situation is pretty close to this, so you should be able to follow this example and change to your specifics:
