How to configure AWS Route 53 to get equivalent of domain forwarding with masking
(I apologize in advance for not having enough technical depth to ask this intelligently)
I currently have an AngularJS static website hosted on AWS S3. I'm using AWS Route 53 for DNS. I'm able to successfully access the site through the browser (e.g. example.com
) like this:
example.com
example.com/siteA
example.com/siteB
What I want to achieve is to register exampleA.com
and exampleB.com
to get to this:
-
example.com
(as it currently is) -
exampleA.com
(points to the siteA content without showing "/siteA
" in the URL) -
exampleB.com
(likewise points to/siteB
)
I've done this before with GoDaddy's domain forwarding with masking, but I can't figure out how to do this with Route53 and I can't find it in their docs. And since this is a static S3 website I cannot add a server to the mix to do the routing there (at least that's my understanding).
Thanks!
Solution 1:
Amazon Route 53 cannot do this. Route 53 is a DNS service and masking is not a function of DNS.
Since the website is already stored on Amazon S3, simply create 2 buckets, one for exampleA.com and one for exampleB.com, each holding their own sites without the subfolders.
