title: how to point AWS Route53 subdomain to AWS Lightsail instance?
body: <p>I have setup a Wordpress on Lightsail, and have created a static IP which I can access WP ok.</p>
  
  <p>I have migrated my <code>.co.uk</code> domain across to Route53 from another provider and am trying to point <code>blog.example.co.uk</code> to my Lightsail instance.</p>
  
  <p>In Lightsail I have setup a DNS record like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>A   example.co.uk           12.34.56.78
  A   blog.example.co.uk      12.34.56.78
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It then lists these DNS servers in Lightsail:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ns-849.awsdns-42.net
  ns-1643.awsdns-13.co.uk
  ns-341.awsdns-42.com
  ns-1516.awsdns-61.org
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've taken those DNS servers and set on the root of my domain in Route 53 under <code>Domains &gt; Registered Domains</code></p>
  
  <p>I am not sure if that was the correct thing to do, as I will have other subdomains eventually that will point elsewhere, <strong>should the Lightsail DNS servers be added at that level? If not, what do I set them back to be?</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have also created a Route53 Hosted Zone, and have created an "A" entry that links blog.example.co.uk to 12.34.56.78, is that required?</p>
