1 00:00:00,350 --> 00:00:01,960 ‫So we need to make the distinction 2 00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,370 ‫between a domain registrar and a DNS service. 3 00:00:05,370 --> 00:00:07,680 ‫So actually you can buy your domain name 4 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,060 ‫with any kind of domain registrar you want, 5 00:00:10,060 --> 00:00:11,930 ‫and you're going to pay annual charges. 6 00:00:11,930 --> 00:00:13,510 ‫So the way we did it so far in this course 7 00:00:13,510 --> 00:00:15,490 ‫was to use the Amazon Registrar, 8 00:00:15,490 --> 00:00:17,190 ‫through the Route 53 console, 9 00:00:17,190 --> 00:00:20,990 ‫but it's possible for you to use any domain name registrar. 10 00:00:20,990 --> 00:00:22,470 ‫So for example, you can use GoDaddy, 11 00:00:22,470 --> 00:00:24,530 ‫you can just Google Domains, and so on. 12 00:00:24,530 --> 00:00:27,010 ‫And usually whenever you register a domain 13 00:00:27,010 --> 00:00:28,300 ‫with a domain registrar, 14 00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:30,500 ‫they will provide you as well with a DNS service 15 00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:32,350 ‫to manage your DNS records. 16 00:00:32,350 --> 00:00:34,570 ‫So when we created a, 17 00:00:34,570 --> 00:00:39,420 ‫when registered a DNS name with a host name with Amazon, 18 00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:43,590 ‫we had a Route 53 hosted zone to manage our DNS records. 19 00:00:43,590 --> 00:00:47,210 ‫But it's possible for you to choose not to use, for example, 20 00:00:47,210 --> 00:00:49,370 ‫AWS Route 53 as your DNS records, 21 00:00:49,370 --> 00:00:52,140 ‫when you have registered your domain with Amazon Registrar. 22 00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:53,910 ‫Or vice versa, you can, for example, 23 00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:55,740 ‫register your domain with GoDaddy. 24 00:00:55,740 --> 00:00:57,710 ‫So you're going to purchase example.com, 25 00:00:57,710 --> 00:01:00,190 ‫yet you're going to use Amazon Route 53 26 00:01:00,190 --> 00:01:01,620 ‫to manage your DNS records. 27 00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:05,000 ‫It's a perfectly acceptable combination. 28 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,070 ‫So how do we do this? 29 00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:08,270 ‫Well, on GoDaddy you're going to register your domain, 30 00:01:08,270 --> 00:01:11,200 ‫and then you're going to have the name servers option, 31 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,220 ‫and you can specify custom name servers. 32 00:01:14,220 --> 00:01:15,550 ‫So what do we put in there? 33 00:01:15,550 --> 00:01:18,100 ‫Well, first we're going to go to Amazon Route 53, 34 00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:20,910 ‫and we're going to create a public hosted zone, 35 00:01:20,910 --> 00:01:22,380 ‫for any domain we want. 36 00:01:22,380 --> 00:01:24,130 ‫And then in the hosted zone details, 37 00:01:24,130 --> 00:01:26,820 ‫we're going to find name servers on the right-hand side. 38 00:01:26,820 --> 00:01:29,170 ‫So these four name servers are the ones 39 00:01:29,170 --> 00:01:31,640 ‫we're are going to have to change on the GoDaddy websites. 40 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,187 ‫So that's when GoDaddy answers a query, 41 00:01:34,187 --> 00:01:36,210 ‫"Hey, which name server should I use?" 42 00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:38,690 ‫the name servers are going to be pointing to 43 00:01:38,690 --> 00:01:40,600 ‫Amazon Route 53 name servers, 44 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,260 ‫and therefore we can use Amazon Route 53 45 00:01:43,260 --> 00:01:46,100 ‫to manage all the EDNS records 46 00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:48,400 ‫that are cleaved from that console. 47 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,410 ‫So to summarize, 48 00:01:49,410 --> 00:01:51,740 ‫if you buy your domain on a third-party registrar, 49 00:01:51,740 --> 00:01:55,560 ‫you can still use Route 53 as your DNS service provider. 50 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,320 ‫For this, you will create a public hosted zone in Route 53, 51 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,740 ‫and then you will update the NS, or name server's records, 52 00:02:02,740 --> 00:02:05,350 ‫on the third-party website, where you bought your domain. 53 00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:06,750 ‫And then you're going to point them 54 00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:08,990 ‫to the Routes 53 name servers. 55 00:02:08,990 --> 00:02:12,010 ‫So, just so you know, a domain registrar looks like, 56 00:02:12,010 --> 00:02:15,700 ‫but is different from a DNS service, 57 00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:17,480 ‫even though every domain registrar 58 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,120 ‫usually comes with some DNS features. 59 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,100 ‫So that's it for this lecture. 60 00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:21,933 ‫I hope you liked it. 61 00:02:21,933 --> 00:02:23,830 ‫And I will see you in the next lecture.
