Nameserver values persist even after deleting Hosted Zone from Route53

0

I have deleted hosted zone few days ago, but still aws provided nameserver is reflecting and not the new one - due to this I am not able to host the website from another hosting server

Also, I see this is the issue with Route53, if you ever host any domain using route53; later after deleting hosted zone nameserver will never go away and you will be forced to use AWS route53 services only. This is very bad experience at least for me. Last few months back also I tried the same but was forced to used route53.

Also, I have tried clearing Cache, Flushing DNS and few other stuffs suggested on internet. But still having bad luck!

Any suggestion or workaround, because my api server are down now and I need the fix badly.

  • After digging deep I found this -> EDE(22): No Reachable Authority (at delegation api.mydomain.com)

    But I still don't know the solution.

I found the solution. At last when everything seems to fail and no help was coming, I started from zero.

First of all I make sure that I deleted route53 hosted zones. Then I reset my domain to point to default nameserver provided by GoDaddy. After an hour all of my website went down as it was pointing to default server. But it did worked as it reset everything to default.

Now I updated the NS provided by my hosting service (Hostinger) to bring my actual website back. And it worked; brought all of my subdomain website back.

It took 3 days of my time and business, I did not have Amazon Support Plan as well so my case is still un-assigned (without support no-one cares about SLA). I was even struggling with Hostinger Support Team and they also kept saying our team is working hard on you ticket. I would like to thank @Riku_Kobayashi for the reply.

Hello.

Did you purchase the domain on AWS?
Unless you migrate your domain registrar from AWS to another service, I think the NS records will continue to use AWS's NS records even if you delete the hosted zone.
You can transfer your domain to another domain registrar by following the steps in the document below.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-transfer-from-route-53.html

If you purchased it from another domain registrar and delegated the domain to Route53, I think you would be able to use it by changing it to the NS record you were originally using.

  • I purchased it from GoDaddy, and I have updated the nameserver there also, but still not reflecting. Also the issue is with sub-domain - that's what making it tough. My sub domain were hosted via AWS, primary domain is working fine.
