In this post, I will go over how I registered a domain name for my website and have the S3 bucket point to my domain name.

Register a domain

Go to AWS Route 53. On the dashboard, in the Register domain section, I input domain name for my website hhphu.click -> Click Check button

As shown in the image, the domain is available. I go ahead and select the domain and Proceed to checkout. Note: If you plan to use this domain name from now on, you can keep the box Auto-renew checked. Otherwise, uncheck it. Finish the checkout process.

While waiting for the process to complete (which takes a few minutes), we can proceed to create S3 buckets for the website.

DNS Configuration using AWS Route 53

Go to Route 53 > Hosted zones and select hhphu.click. Click Create record
