To transfer the domain name registration to route 53, you will have to carry out certain steps that I have explained below:
- Obtain the zone file from your DNS provider, this will contain a list of DNS record data for your domain name
- Use Route53's management console to create a hosted zone that can store the DNS records
- Follow its prompted transfer process
- The process will finally be complete once you contact the organization with whom you have registered your domain name and ask for a transfer. Post this your DNS queries will start getting answered.
