Using AWS Route 53, it takes only 10 minutes to get ready to serve web site on a specific domain name you want to use. Take a look at how it works now.
Prerequisites
- AWS Management Console Account(Required)
- Route 53 Service Access(Required)
- DIG(Domain Information Gropher) command-line tool installed on your local working machine. (Optional)
1. Go To the Registered Domains Page.
Take a domain name you would like to use and click “Register Domain” in the following page in AWS Management console.
Your domain name must be different from others. In my case, I have already registered a domain name before so ignore it and them click through the button “Register Domain”.
2. Choose your domain name and add to cart
Then, type in the domain name in the input field and press the button check for availability and proceed to add to cart if it is available and continue.
3. Provide information of Registrant Contact
then, fill out the form of Registrant Contact and continue.
4. Complete the order and check
and in the final stage, you can complete the order with email verification process.
and you can see the corresponding hosted zone has been created along.
in the created hosted zone, two record sets are created along.
one is NS(Name Server) type and the other on is SOA(Start of Authority) type.
5. Use DIG command to check the validaty of the registration
please verify you have binary file of DIG command-line tool in your local machine as below.
the command line format is
dig <domain name> <type>
Now, the domain name has been properly registered in the domain name server. It is ready to serve any request using the name. You can use your own domain name to provide any web service on that name. Go get it.
