Point the subdomain to AWS and root to Bluehost

Question

I have a domain sample.com which is a WordPress website and is hosted in Bluehost. Parallel to that, I have an application that has been hosted on AWS EC2. I want the subdomain to say, app.sample.com to point to the AWS EC2 instance. How would be that possible?

Answer 1

I guess you have your terms mixed up, A subdomain is a completely separate domain, eg. subdomain.sample.com which will contain separate hosts - "www.subdomain.sample.com"/ ftp.subdomain.sample.com, to do this create the subdomain in Route53 and fill in the NameServer Records that you are provided with.

You can create a new A record, so app.sample.com, and use the IP address of the EC2 instance. Then do the same for the www.sample.com record using the WordPress IP address.
