How to move a domain from Godaddy to AWS Route 53

Since Godaddy went down for some hours my client and I are very upset and want to change everything to AWS.

Everything is done so far, only the domains (blablabla.com) are missing, I'm having a hard time trying to migrate from godaddy to Route 53, Do I have to remove from one and create from scratch from AWS?

Does anyone have any experience on how to do this?


the solution:

Login on your aws console; Click on Route 53; Create Hosted Zone; Select your new created host title and click "Go to Record Sets", take note of the nameservers;

Login on your Godaddy account; Select your domain; Go to Nameservers and click SetNameservers; paste all the four you took from "Go to Record Sets" Route 53;

and that's it..., you don't have to rely on this horrible service Godaddy provides anymore


You can transfer the domain registration to AWS Route 53. You have to "unlock" the account.

Log On to Go Daddy.

Go to Domain Details Then Settings:

  • Lock: Set to Off
  • Authorization Code: Email My Code

Route 53 will need the authorization code to complete the transfer request.
