Route 53 setting for using WIX
Hello, still new at this - but what I want to achieve is to:
- Operate An S3 static website (made available via Cloudfront so I can use https - this ends up from https://app.example.com/
- The s3 static website is made available via a subdomain app.example.com
- I want a WIX.com website to be made available from example.com and www.example.com
- My DNS provider is a third party called Webcentral and the Domain is registered with them
Webcentral only offer the ability for me to change name servers.
- I can operate the app.example.com with the SSL certificates, Cloudfront, S3, Route 53 access, etc - no problem - I set the Webcentral DNS provider to point to the AWS name servers (from the Route 53 NS records)
- I can operate www.example.com and example.com with WIX when I set the DNS provider to point to the two WIX.com name servers ns11.wixdns.net and ns10.wixdns.net
I can't operate both (1) and (2) together. The WIX.com setup expects me to use (2) only and I cannot use the AWS name servers. I can't see how WIX can be used to manage the AWS functions together. Hope this makes sense - value any help.
More detail - This is what I have:
Hosted zone - example.com A - cloudfront distrubution NS AWS name servers (auto created by Route 53) SOA AWS server (auto created by Route 53) app NS app subdomain NS servers CNAME - AWS Cert manager for example.com
Hosted zone - app.example.com A - app.example.com cloudfront distribution NS - app.example.com AWS name server (auto created by Route 53) SOA - AWS server (auto created by Route 53) CNAME - AWS Cert manager for *.example.com
WIX.com is expecting me to redirect all the traffic to their name servers as they then auto create the www subdomain, the https, etc
What would I need to setup specifically to use WIX.com from AWS.
The WIX.com site is https://myaccount.wixsite.com/wixsitename In this case - lets assume https://example.wixsite.com/example Of course WIX.com offer both http and https
Ultimately https://example.com -> WIX site at https://example.com https://www.example.com -> WIX site at https://example..com https://app.example.com -> my app at https://example.com http://app.example.com -> my app at https://example.com

This was not mentioned or referred to by WIX.com support, but after many hours of fruitless searching... https://support.wix.com/en/article/connecting-a-domain-to-wix-using-the-pointing-method Was the sort of solution I was hoping for and keeps the DNS settings management within AWS.
Create the required dns records on the wix name serves to point to AWS resources or create the dns records in route53 to point to the wix resources
For acm you just need a cname records creating on the name servers and a cname for cloudfront cdn
Other option is to run a subdomain in route 53 and keep the main name servers at wiz. A few ways of accomplishing this.

Thanks @Gary Mclean. I would to like pursue the AWS side. This is what I have:
Hosted zone - example.com A - cloudfront distrubution NS AWS name servers (auto created by Route 53) SOA AWS server (auto created by Route 53) app NS app subdomain NS servers CNAME - AWS Cert manager for example.com
Hosted zone - app.example.com A - app.example.com cloudfront distribution NS - app.example.com AWS name server (auto created by Route 53) SOA - AWS server (auto created by Route 53) CNAME - AWS Cert manager for *.example.com
WIX.com is expecting me to redirect all the traffic to their name servers as they then auto create the www subdomain, the https, etc
What would I need to setup specifically to use WIX.com from AWS.
The WIX.com site is https://myaccount.wixsite.com/wixsitename In this case - lets assume https://example.wixsite.com/example Of course WIX.com offer both http and https
Ultimately https://example.com -> WIX site at https://example.com https://www.example.com -> WIX site at https://example..com https://app.example.com -> my app at https://example.com http://app.example.com -> my app at https://example.com
