Hi everyone,
I’m trying to set up static website hosting with S3 and trigger it using Route 53. However, I don’t have a custom domain to use for this setup. Can anyone guide me on how I can achieve this without a domain? Any help or resources would be greatly appreciated!
I’m not completely clear what you mean by “trigger it using Route 53”, but as far as a custom domain, you can easily get one by buying a domain somewhere simple and cheap, and creating certs for it with Let’s Encrypt. It’s actually quite easy to do, and once you have the domain and the cert, it’s easy to set up the DNS on Route 53. Lots of links on line as to how to do this.
I want to host a webpage on S3 and access it using Route 53 without purchasing a domain. Does KodeKloud offer any domain or subdomain that I can use for practice purposes?
Not really something you can do.
Domains are cheap enough that it’s really more trouble than it’s worth to try and use someone else’s domain. And you can’t really do this with our playground – you need your own AWS account. Because of the way DNS works, you can’t really play with a domain you don’t own on Route 53 or any other DNS hosting scheme; you want to buy your domain, and assign Route 53 as the service for DNS. Once you do that, you can create subdomains easily, you can get free certificates for TLS using Let’s Encrypt, all sorts of things.
