I have been using the Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) from DynDNS for over ten years to provide a reliable URL translation for my mail server and web site which sit on my own server behind a dynamic IP address that is provided by my broadband providor.
Recently I was introduced to Route 53 and S3 from AWS and I started to do some cost comparisons between DynDNS and Route 53 and discovered that Route 53 givees me significant cost savings with increased functionality. This guide will take you through how I switched from DynDNS to Route 53.
All of the commands in this blog assume that you have your own registered domain, I will use myexample.com in the blog, obviously this needs to be replaced with your registered domain name
I am also in the process of moving my static Web Site onto S3, but that will be the subject of another Blog.
