Question

I'm trying to move the domain and so far I set the nameservers in godaddy to be the same ones as from Route 53.

I'm wondering what I should set my A name to, should it be an IP? I used S3 to host my website and have A pointed at its alias.

I also have a cname pointing www.helpsaverosie.com to www.helpsaverosie.com.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/

I followed the guide here

I purchased the domain through Go daddy and it worked before migrateing to Route 53, which now the website cannot be found.

*EDIT For some reason even the s3 bucket with www. apended doesn't work

www.helpsaverosie.ca.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com

*EDIT Godaddy images

Was it helpful?

Solution

Here is an example of my route 53 records for a s3 hosted website, these settings work. If you have the equivalent setup, then your problem might be at the godaddy end, not the r53 end.

OTHER TIPS

So basically you are seetting the Route 53 nameservers inside your domain records. That is fine if you want to set them for a sub domain but not for the main domain. For the main domain you need to follow their instructions:

If your domain name is registered with us, use the following instructions to set custom name servers for it.

To Set Custom Nameservers for a Domain Name Registered with Us

Log in to your Account Manager.

Next to Domains, click Launch.

Select the domain name(s) you want to modify.

From the Nameservers menu, select Set Nameservers.

Under Setup type, select Custom.

Select Add Nameservers.

Enter the two nameservers your hosting provider gave you.

Click Add Nameserver if you have more than two nameservers.

Click Save.
