AWS name server can't recognize domain name

Question

I have a hosted public zone with four name servers that were supplied by AWS. I have never changed them,  but today I switched the doman example.com to a cloud front distribution by creating an A record. Now when I browse to the website, it times out. "dig" reports that there is no A record, and when I used nslookup to query for my doman, it can't find it.  I checked the name servers in Hosted Zone Details and they match the DNS records I have.

Answer

Hi,

Please note that the CloudFront distribution must include an "alternate domain name" that matches the domain name that you want to use for your URLs instead of the domain name that CloudFront assigned to your distribution.

For more details, please see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-to-cloudfront-distribution.html

Answer

Make sure on the A record to the CloudFront distribution that you checked the box so it is an Alias.

Answer

Try to use `CNAME` record instead of alias `A` Record.
