AWS — IP Plus DNS
How to Link Your Sub/Domain Name With Your AWS Instance Running Ubuntu — AWSSeries # Episode 03
In this post we will show you, from the very beginning, how to register a domain for your IoT project and redirect it to your Ubuntu instance, running in the cloud! this continues this previous post.
Hi, I’m from Brazil, and I register this domain here:
j3.blog.br
You have to search in your country which institution registers a domain officially.
Fine. Now come with me:
01#Step — As said, I just bought ownership for my domain(3 years);
j3.blog.br02#Step — Go to your AWS Management Console and point it to this service:
route53 
03#Step — Click this button: Create hosted zone:
What is a Hosted Zone AWS?
A hosted zone is an Amazon Route 53 concept. A hosted zone is analogous to a traditional DNS zone file; it represents a collection of records that can be managed together, belonging to a single parent domain name. All resource record sets within a hosted zone must have the hosted zone’s domain name as a suffix. (from AWS FAQ)
04#Step — Config hosted zone like this:
05#Step — Now this screen opens showing us our DNS domain; Get each one of these address and transport it to your Registrar site (Registro.br):
06#Step — Now return to your Registrar site dashboard (https://registro.br/painel/) and save each of these addresses in your DNS (we will replace the local DNS with AWS DNS):
07#Step — From that point, we will have the propagation of the names of these servers pointing to your IP. It can usually last for hours … Wait for confirmation from your domain registrar.
08#Step — Now return to EC2, copy your IP Address:
09#Step —Now, open AWS Services>Route53:
Now, when someone on the internet types www.j3.blog.br they will be redirected to this IP address.
We here could make a subdomain, like, iot.j3.blog.br, or mqtt.j3.blog.br, etc. It is up to you to choose one sub/domain that represents your project better!
Ready now, just wait for the propagation of the DNS name.
For the test, sometime later, just type:
www.j3.blog.br/index.php And should appear on our test page from the previous lesson:
