Issue with creating a hosted zone in AWS for a transferred domain and linking to SES


I recently transferred my domain from 1and1 to AWS Route53. I am now trying to link Amazon SES to the domain.

I went through the step of creating the hosted zone for the domain : my-domain.co.uk

Then I added all the necessary records for SES but for some reason it doesn't seem to find the records

IS there a way I can manually check if the records are there? I feel like something isn't quite right perhaps to do with the fact that the domain was taransferred?


Solution

  • As you did not mention anything related to the Nameserver records creation, I am assuming you have not quite finished the transfer process

    You can take a look at this doc Transferring registration for a domain to Amazon Route 53

    Above is a step by step process you can follow.

    For SES you can follow this doc Verifying domains in Amazon SES depending on the type of your setup, you can add necessary records and Authenticating your email in Amazon SES if needed.
