title: AWS Route 53 Connected to S3 Status Web Host
body: <p>So, I've created a website xxxxxxx.com (removing from post)
  I registered it with Route 53.
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/EBgVr.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Registered Domain - Established Hosted Zone</a></p>
  <p>Established 2 Record Sets one of xxxxxxxx.com and one for <a href="http://www.xxxxxx.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.xxxxxx.com</a>
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/qspwf.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Record Set Details for one of the paths</a></p>
  <p>But when I go to ping <a href="http://www.xxxxxxxx.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.xxxxxxxx.com</a> or xxxxxxxx.com - I don't get a response.
  When I go to a DNS checker site - it fails all DNS servers.</p>
  <p>I've been all over the place trying to get this to work, concerningly, it did work at one time, but then failed. I have deleted the hosted zone twice and rebuilt it. I have NOT touched the named servers.</p>
  <p>S3:
  setup 2 buckets, named appropriately. xxxxxxxx.com and <a href="http://www.xxxxxxxx.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.xxxxxxxx.com</a>
  Both have two files on them. Block public is unchecked.
  Static Web hosting is enabled.
  Selected both files and set to Actions --&gt; Make Public</p>
  <p>Testing on their own with these addresses:
  **edited - I had to remove the direct S3 Web hosting as once posted here they got hammered with hits.</p>
  <p>I did try one other thing:
  Route 53 --&gt; Traffic Policies --&gt; Create Traffic Policy --&gt;
  DNS Type a: IP address in IPv4 format to Endpoint Type S3 website endpoint Value xxxxxxxx.com.s3-website-us-east-2....</p>
  <p>This does not appear to have rectified the situation, unfortunately. And they want to charge $10 a month to direct it with www. prefix - which doesn't make any kind of sense, so I didn't do that.</p>
  <p>Any advice or help that can be rendered would be helpful! I've covered most of the ground with Amazon and videos setting up domain to S3 to no avail.</p>
