So I was stuck in a situation where I had to redirect a domain name to another. I was looking for a quick and handy solution and this trick helped me to achieve it.

Here are the quick steps.

  1. Domain name to Route 53.
Add your Domain Name to Route 53

2. Create a new bucket with the same domain name

Add an S3 bucket with same domain name

3. Enable Static hosting of the website

4. Add the URL after selecting “Redirect requests for an Object”

5. In Route 53 — Add an “A” record, enable Alias

Creating an A record for the Domain name
Adding an Alias

That’s it.

You can test it with the curl command

curl -i -s s.in | grep -E "HTTP|Location"
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.s.com/
