Hi, I have a Lightsail Instance, 1 Domain, and a new EC2 Instance. Everything works fine. I'm following a book that needs me to change the Hostnames and the Name Servers. I found a page on AWS explaining how to point my Route 53 Domain to my Lightsali Instance.
https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-using-route-53-to-point-a-domain-to-an-instance
It's not the same as the book but I think it's what I need. Here's the instructions from the book...
"Log into your GoDaddy (or similar) account after purchasing a domain
Select your domain, click manage, and select Advanced DNS
Next, set up Hostnames in the DNS Management to point to your Server
ns1 (and put the IP of your VPS server)
ns2 (and put the IP of your VPS server)
Edit Nameservers to Custom
Add ns1.loca1host.com
Add ns2.loca1host.com"
So, where is DNS Management in AWS? I've tried to figure it out on my own. (Including the first link.) Here's what I have...
*My AWS Domain has all the default settings. (I didn't erase any.)
I added: Hostnames
"A – IPv4 address" with my Lightsail Static IP and it's private IP.
"CNAME" with "www" in front of "mydomain.com"
I used the first link to point to my Lightsail (Static) IP. I'm not sure if that works. I don't know how to change my "Hostname." Where do I find that? My Lightsail Terminal says "ip-my-ip-address. Is that my hostname? Secondly, I don't know if I set up the Nameservers right. I know I should have ns1 and ns2. Should I use loca1host.com like in the book? Or my VPS IP? Or what?
So, how do I change my hostname and nameservers? To point to my Lightsail Instance? Should I delete old nameservers? I can find those. The AWS link doesn't show any "ns1" and "ns2". So where's my DNS management and hostnames? This is probably an easy question. Please reply. Thanks
