How to point AWS Route 53 to wordpress.com blog?

Question

I have a website that I serve out of AWS. The domain name is www.my-website-blah.com.

Now, I created a wordpress blog: my-website-blah.wordpress.com.

I want the blog to appear at blog.my-website-blah.com.

How do I do it?

I believe to do it, I have to setup a NS record in Route53. However, I'm not sure what FQDNs to point them to. Where can I get that information?

Answer 1

In your domain name registry that contains your domain (eg example.com), create a CNAME record to point blog.example.com to xyz.wordpress.com.

If your domain name is registered in Route 53, then Create the CNAME Resource Record Set by Using the Amazon Route 53 Console.

If your domain name is registered somewhere else (eg GoDaddy), create the CNAME record there.
