Redirect old domain to new website (hosted elsewhere). Keep email here for old domain.

0

I need to redirect the old domain address (.com) to go to the website which is held elsewhere (.net, also). I want to keep the email addresses .com and keep them here. I never set up the old website here. I just moved the emails and DNS here (Route 53 and Workmail, SES). Not real familiar with AWS.

Hi.

First, you still own your .com and .net domains.

And domain information about mail, Workmail, SES do not need to be changed.

First, let's create a Route 53 record so that the website can be accessed from .net as well. Create it just like .com (CNAME record or A record).

After that, the .com side needs to redirect to .net, which is difficult with only Route53. It is necessary to prepare a mechanism to redirect with website settings or ALB or S3.

  • I'm trying to do the cname for the www-----.net leaving the subdomain blank and I keep getting error bad request. invalidchangebatch 400: rrset of tuype cname with DNS name (the original .com) is not permitted at apex in zone (original .com).

    I haven't gotten to the 2nd step of your plan yet.

  • I got the 1st and 3rd parts done. There were no load balancers. Do I need to create one?
