Domain Name Resolution with Amazon's Route 53

Domain Name Service of Amazon Web Services is know as Amazon Route 53. Its a great service to manage, domain names and load balancing on multiple servers. In this post, I am going how you can configure Route 53, so that your domain points to the EC2 instance you own. First of all you need to own a domain and have account on Amazon Web Services. Once you have these get ready to go for the configuration. Its not that hard to configure, but if you don't get it then you won't be able to have your domain resolved to your EC2 instance. 

First thing you need to do is open you Amazon Console and go to Route 53 Services. There you can create a hosted zone. And you'll get about 4 name server details, that you need to update in your domain registrar.The hosted zone should have your domain as example.com. And now click on the hosted zone and create record sets.
First record set should be an A record. For this name should be example.com and value should be the ip of your EC2 instance.
The Second is a CNAME record set, the name should be www.example.com and the value should be example.com. This makes sure you can access your website from example.com and www.example.com After a couple of minutes or some hours or days you will be able to access through example.com. Hope this helps you with Route 53.
