I am moving all my sites over to my git account for hosting. I don't have a whole lot of experience with git or route53 and can't seem to find many answers on this. I updated my registrar with the route53 nameservers and created a CNAME on my github. Do I put the git IP's under the SOA section on Route53 for this domain?
I'm sure this has been covered before but I didn't see any results when doing a search.
This was answered on the Route53 forum. Most of the time you can route a domain through your registrar but in this case I was using a .la extension which doesn't have this capability.

I have a domain registered at Route 53, but I want to have Netlify manage the DNS for this domain (the entire domain, unlike other questions about subdomains). I set the NS record for the domain to point to Netlify's name servers, but Netlify's custom domain configuration tool still claims that DNS is not configured correctly.
Below is a screenshot showing my current Route53 hosted zone configuration, with the NS records clearly pointed at Netlify's DNS servers. I waited for DNS propagation timeouts, flushed Google's DNS cache, and tried other suggestions and nothing worked.
The problem turned out to be that setting the NS records in the hosted zone doesn't actually let Netlify manage the DNS for the domain. Instead, you need to change the nameservers in the Registered Domains section of the Route 53 console. (NOT the Hosted Zones section.)
On that page, remove the AWS nameservers and add Netlify's nameservers. It will look like this when it's done: (Note that your nameserver hostnames may be different; copy them from Netlify's Custom Domain page)
Kudos to Netlify's support team for writing a doc that explains how to do this. It was admittedly hard to find this doc in Google because there are so many different Netlify docs about various DNS intricacies. But eventually Googling helped me find it.
In retrospect, it's now obvious to me that adding DNS records to a zone (even NS records!) can't change the nameservers used by the domain. But it would have been nice if the AWS console included this info when I edited the NS records so I didn't waste a few hours.
Leaving this answer here for the next victim. 😁
For domain registered at Route 53 and Netlify managing the DNS. It worked for me by changing the name servers both from the "Registered Domain" area and "Hosted Zone".
I'm not sure if this question belongs here but because it is a technical question so I'm asking it here. Feel free to move it to any appropriate website of Stack exchange.
My problem is I have created a subdomain successfully on my website through cpanel and also put an index.html file in it to test it. But when I run it in browser it is not showing contents of index.html file. It shows following errors:
DNS address could not be found and ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED errors. Can someone please tell me how to resolve this problem?
You must be missing A record pointing to your sub domain in your domain panel.
Record Point to TTL
A sub 300
Please check the DNS servers for your domain. You might be using external DNS servers. When you create a subdomain on cPanel, a DNS entry is created in the DNS zone for that subdomain pointing to your server ip. If your domain uses external DNS servers then those servers will be queried to find the ip address for that subdomain. In this case you should manually edit your DNS zone and add an A record for that subdomain to point to your server's ip).
Thanks for all the answers. Here is how solved my problem. The problem was that I have purchased a hosting with one domain name. I also have another domain purchase but there is no hostng on it. I had pointed the second domain to first domain which also has hosting support. So what I was doing is I was creating subdomain on second one on the first domain. But it was not recognising it and showing DNS problem. So I made an entry A record entry in the second domain about the subdomain which I wanted to create on it. And then in 5 minutes DNS was updated and issue was resolved.
After adding the subdomain, go to the DNS editor of the domain and add a CNAME record for the subdomain.
For example:
NAME TYPE VALUE
--------------------------------------------------
subdomain.example.com. CNAME example.com.
I am creating a github pages site by branching a gh-pages version off of my repository. Its url ends up being
myusername.github.io/myRepoName/
If I am hosting the project like this during development, will the IP address remain static?
The accepted answer has outdated IP addresses. Try the ones below.
185.199.108.153
185.199.109.153
185.199.110.153
185.199.111.153
I assume you're trying to set up a CNAME for this Github pages.
Click here for their documentations.
While the IP isn't static, these 2 IPs in unison should work:
192.30.252.153
192.30.252.154
I'm somewhat new to this problem so sorry if this is an obvious question. I am building a website for a client which is hosted on Heroku. The client previously had the old website hosted on HostGator. The Domain name was purchased from GoDaddy. The client has a custom email domain (ex. #client.ca). Today I transferred the new website domain from HostGator to Heroku, and everything seems to be working well except the emails. The "#client.ca" emails no longer work. From what I gather, I have to point Heroku towards the Host Gator IP Address in order for the emails to work. I'm not exactly sure how to do this. Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks!
You need a DNS service like dnsmadeeasy or others mentioned on heroku. From there you need to distribute the different records, e.g. ANAME and CNAME to heroku, CNAME to external asset hosts like cloudfront, MX (and A) to email host.
Am myself in the process of dealing with the "email problem":
(easier) The registrar (domain name provider) offers email hosting, but does not offer ANAME or ALIAS records (common): You can point the nameservers to the DNS service and then point the email back to your registrar. Found registrars quite helpful in general with helping if you need config details.
(more annoying) The registrar does not offer email hosting in the first place or has an all or nothing policy re nameservers (everything with them, or nothing with them, like e.g. easily). In this case you have to find an independent email host. Any recommendations? The setup is analogue.
(perfect) Your registrar offers ANAME or ALIAS records and email hosting. Lucky you!
Im trying to have a custom domain for my github hosted blog, i changed the CNAME file to have my custom domain, head to my hostgator account, but i don't have access to the Cpanel, only a domain management dashboard where it only has a name server fields to edit, i suppose i need to change my DNS to the following:*
192.30.252.153
192.30.252.154
CNAME username.github.io
*
However there is no way i can do that on Hostgator name server only dashboard.
where does the CNAME username.github.io goes ?

I contacted Hostgator and asked them to edit my DNS information from their side and they were helpful and add the IP address and CNAME for me.
