Setup a DNS hosted zone in Route53 in AWS.

Go to Route 53
Create a Hosted Zone
Enter:

  • Domain name e.g. jonahblessy.com
  • Type as Public hosted zone

AWS automatically creates:

  • NS (Name Server) records
  • SOA (Start of Authority) record

Add DNS Records
Inside the hosted zone Create A Record (IPv4)

  • Name:www
  • Type: A
  • Value: EC2 public IP Wait for propagation which usually takes a few minutes (can take up to 48 hours).
  • After that, domain will point to your server.

Simple Flow:
User enters domain - DNS (Route 53) - resolves to IP - request reaches server.
