No need to pay for Route53 !!

Today my friend asked me that, is there any way to connect my domain with my ec2 instance without Route53 and also for FREE!!

I said yes!!

So today this is the topic we are gonna discuss, how to connect the domain with our ec2 instance without Route53?

The step is very simple, at first we need to buy a domain from any domain registrar. And I already have one.

Domain Purchased from GoDaddy

After that get the public ip of our EC2 instance, to check our instance with the webpage. I have installed an httpd server on it, So our server can display a webpage.

NOTE: Don't forget to enable respective ports in the Security group like HTTP port.

EC2 instance

Moving on get back to the domain registrar, as I bought the domain from the GoDaddy platform, here is the domain record page. Every domain registrar has this page.

DNS records

Here by clicking Add New Record Button we can add the IP address of our Instance.

The IP address of the EC2 instance added

Now, wait for a few minutes to apply changes.

The server is accessed through a domain name

Taraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

In this way, we can simply host our application without any additional charges.

Hope this helps you guys, catch you guys in the next blog Seeeeyaaa!!

NOTE: This method is recommended for small-scale applications, for high-level applications we can go for Route53.
