My domain is rather long. I need to use it without www.
All the info I find on the net is about cnames.
How do I redirect the whole domain to an amazon s3 bucket, not only a subdomain?
Amazon recently announced support for root domain hosting via S3. The instructions for setting this up can be found here. Note that you will have to setup two buckets to accomplish this, and that you will have to use Route 53 for your DNS hosting.
Try wwwizer
What you need to do is to create a cname www pointing to your s3 bucket url (bucket name will need to match) and then create an A record to the ip given by wwwizer.
Another way is to use a url redirecting service or use a free web host (like godaddy's ad supported hosting) and on the index file issue a redirect to www.yourdomain.com.
There might be other solutions that rely on finding out the ips of the amazon s3 front end servers but they are error prone.

My client has a domain address on Godaddy and I would like to just connect A record to AWS Api Gateway without changing NS records because my client using other records such as MX and etc on Godaddy and would stay on it.
In Route53 we can create records by alias directly but in this case I'm not sure how could it be possible.
I just did something similar with Amplify and I just imported the domain, changed the CNAME (following the Amplify docs - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amplify/latest/userguide/to-add-a-custom-domain-managed-by-a-third-party-dns-provider.html).
For API gateway, it might be a little different but I think you can go to Route 53 resolver and look for the inbound query link and then send it to your VPC of your Api Gateway endpoint.
Base on my recent searches on AWS documents and also Evan's document, there is no way without ANAME (Alias Name Record) that must provided by your DNS provider.
I'm not sure that my customer accept migration from existing DNS provider but I'm going to suggest below as our second solution:
example.com couldn't set by ANAME but www.example.com could set CNAME then we can make a simple redirect from example.com to www.example.com.
I think Godaddy providing url redirect by default otherwise we must run an EC2 just for this redirection.
I know it sucks but it seems that there is no any other way.
I will appreciated If someone knows better solution.
I have transferred my domain from Google to AWS 7 days back. The transfer process has been completed in AWS. I have created a public hosted zone in Router 53 and the NS records present in Route 53 are matching with the NS records of my domain in AWS. Also created CNAME records pointed to the application load balancer.
I am able to access my domain inside AWS workspace and even dig command returns the results in my AWS workspace but not working in some machines outside of AWS workspace but when I use load balancer url, I am able to access the application so there are no issues with security group configuration.
Also no dig results when using this url https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/
Am I missing something here? Any help is highly appreciated
The issue is resolved after disabling the DNSSEC in Route 53. I think I had not disabled DNSSEC in google before transferring the domain to AWS so it has transferred the DNSSEC with keys to AWS.
I've heard many good things about Cloudflare, and they have an excellent CDN product that features functionality not found on competitors (HTTP2, IPv6 etc).
I have files in a Google Cloud Storage bucket.
How to set these files as the origin for a Cloudflare CDN?
(The Cloudflare control panel seems to just want a website on a root domain...?)
Maybe a bit late, but I put my answer just in case it is useful for someone else looking to do the same thing.
I have a bucket in Google Cloud Storage behind CloudFlare. You just need to follow the instructions here:
https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/website-configuration
In CloudFlare you will need to manage your root domain, but then you can create a subdomain just for your bucket in Google Cloud Storage (don't forget to enable CloudFlare features on that subdomain). I think that's the way CloudFlare works, managing your root domain and I don't think you can avoid it.
If you need specific settings for the subdomain used for your bucket, you can use page rules in CloudFlare. For example, I had to use them because Google Cloud Storage does not support SSL but my pages using those static files were on SSL, so I had specific settings for that subdomain to use flexible SSL.
I have a website at amazon S3. I registered my domain (Not With Amazon) and pointed it to Route 53 and linked it to my Amazon S3 bucket. Now I want to move my site to Weebly.
I am a teacher and don't know much about this stuff. I watched online tutorials and read articles about linking a domain name using Route 53 to Amazon S3 Bucket and I successfully did.
Now I want to move from Amazon S3 to Weebly and they want me to link to their IP Address 199.34.228.59. for both mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com
Currently I have 2 hosted zones for my domain at Route 53.
one for mydomain.com and one for www.mydomain.com
In "mydomain.com"
Type is A-Ipv4Address,
Alias is Yes and
alias Target is Amazon Bucket end point.
Routing Policy is simple
Please forgive me for not being able to explain clearly to you guys.
Just need someone to help me link my domain name to weebly using Amazon Route 53.
Change Alias to "No" for both www.mydomain.com and domain.com. Keep them as A records, and for both of them just change their values to 199.34.228.59. That should be all that's necessary.
I've registered my domain about a month ago (It's a .com, so I need to wait 60 days before being allowed to transfer the domain, which I will do as I'm fed up with 1and1's service)
I created an Amazon S3 bucket with my domain name: example.com and www.example.com.
All my Amazon S3 settings are in order, I've enabled website hosting, I have an index document...
In 1and1, I've set my redirect destination for example.com to my S3 bucket endpoint.
When I hit save: "Operation Failed, The redirect URL is invalid."
What am I doing wrong?
You do not have to wait 60 days.
There are two different services that are commonly confused because providers often market then together: domain registrar services and domain hosting.
You can change your hosting provider at any time, by changing the configuration options with the current registrar. This change typically takes effect almost immediately, though conventional wisdom is that it may require up to 48 hours to take effect globally.
Create a new "hosted zone" in Route 53 for your domain. Take note of the four "awsdns" name servers that Route 53 assigns.
Log in to your registrar's admin portal and find the option the change your authoritative name server configuration. Replace the registrar's default name servers with the four provided by Route 53.
You will then use the Route 53 console to create your DNS records, including the appropriate "Alias" records pointing your domain to the S3 web site endpoint.
After the 60 days, you can change the registrar to Route 53, or any other registrar you like, continuing to use the authoritative name servers assigned to your domain by Route 53.
Route 53 is the simplest option for DNS hosting when you are using S3 for static website hosting (or CloudFront or Elastic Load Balancer) simply because of the tight integration provided by Alias records, which offer capabilities that CNAMEs can't and other DNS hosting providers can't, because they don't have direct access to the operational internals of AWS.
It sounds like you configured your domain name to use a Redirect instead of a CNAME record. Create a CNAME record to your AWS domain.
Here are some instructions:

Sometimes people don't want to create CNAMEs for their root domain and prefer to redirect from example.com to www.example.com
