Can I log into my AWS account?
If you no longer need an AWS account, please follow the instructions below to cancel your account.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsaccountbilling/latest/aboutv2/close-account.html#closing-the-account
Both the "old" and "new" websites are being hosted by Amazon - you end up on the same Amazon network load balancer in Northern Virginia in both cases.
The www address (after jumping through a few CNAMEs):
$ host www.colesvilletravel.com
www.colesvilletravel.com is an alias for s.multiscreensite.com.
s.multiscreensite.com is an alias for global.multiscreensite.com.
global.multiscreensite.com is an alias for d1-hitch-nlb-360be683c5f2457b.elb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com.
d1-hitch-nlb-360be683c5f2457b.elb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com has address 35.172.94.1
d1-hitch-nlb-360be683c5f2457b.elb.us-east-1.amazonaws.com has address 100.24.208.97
The plain address, without the www, is an A-record for one of the IPs on that NLB:
$ host colesvilletravel.com
colesvilletravel.com has address 100.24.208.97
Using curl it appears that everything, whether plain HTTP or HTTPS, with or without the www, ends up at https://www.colesvilletravel.com/ with the redirect being handled by nginx running on something on the other side of the NLB.
Either your organisation pays a bill to AWS every month for this infrastructure and you administer it yourselves in-house, or you pay a third-party (does multiscreensite.com sound familiar?) to do it for you.

If I cancel the account will the website come down? How do I confirm that Amazon is HOSTING the account? I have gotten so many answers I need to be sure that Amazon is the HOST of this OLD website. Is there a way for me to confirm that Amazon is the host? How can I see if the is live on Amazon?
If you terminate your AWS account, all of the resources running in your account will no longer be available, so if your website is hosted, it will be shut down. You must log in to your AWS account to check if it is hosted. Is the newer site not hosted on AWS? If the newer site is hosted on AWS, the newer site will also be unavailable when you cancel.
Actually according to this: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/terminate-resources-account-closure, “ Closing your account doesn't automatically terminate all your active resources.”. So you must get access to the account and terminate the resources.
