How to move a domain from Godaddy to AWS Route 53

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.


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
