transferred domain name not recognized after waiting for about a week

Question

I have a domain that was transferred from AWS account (from Europe) to my AWS account in the US.  It is not being recognized by DNS and I am unable to verify the domain from NSLOOKUP for almost a week.

I don't have access to the other account from which the domain was transferred.  The previous owner deleted the hosted zone associated with the domain

Answer

Hi There

When you transfer a domain, the Name Servers will still point to the old DNS provider.  If the previous owner deleted the hosted zone, then you need to create a new hosted zone in Route53, recreate the DNS records, and point your domain to it.

Follow the steps outlined here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/migrate-dns-domain-inactive.html
