Yes, you can move your domains to Amazon Route 53 and transfer your static sites and email services to AWS. Here's an overview of the process and options: 1. Domain Transfer: You can transfer your domains from your current registrar to Amazon Route 53. This process involves initiating the transfer from Route 53 and obtaining authorization codes from your current registrar. Route 53 will guide you through the steps. 2. Static Sites: For your static sites, you can use Amazon S3 to host them, just as you're already doing with one of your sites. You can set up Amazon CloudFront as a content delivery network (CDN) to improve performance and security. 3. Email Services: For email, you have a couple of options: a. Amazon SES (Simple Email Service): This is primarily for sending emails and is not a full-featured email hosting solution. It's great for transactional emails but doesn't provide inboxes. b. Amazon WorkMail: This is a more comprehensive email hosting solution that provides inboxes, calendars, and contacts management. It's more comparable to what you currently have with your registrar. Regarding certificates, AWS provides free SSL/TLS certificates through Amazon Certificate Manager (ACM) which can be used with various AWS services, ensuring your connections are secure. As for pricing, you'll need to calculate based on your specific usage, but AWS generally offers competitive pricing. You can use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate costs. To facilitate the move, you can contact AWS Support or consider working with an AWS Partner who specializes in migrations. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific needs. Regarding your related question: No, email domains in Amazon SES do not have to be hosted or registered with Route 53. You can use SES with domains registered elsewhere, though using Route 53 can simplify the setup process. Remember to plan your migration carefully to minimize downtime and ensure all your services transition smoothly. It's also a good idea to start with one domain as a test before moving everything over. **Sources** Transferring a domain to a different AWS account - Amazon Route 53 Migrating a hosted zone to a different AWS account - Amazon Route 53 Making Route 53 the DNS service for a domain that's in use - Amazon Route 53 Transferring domains - Amazon Route 53

Setting Up a Custom Domain and Email Address with AWS SES | by Charles Campbell | Medium
June 8, 2023 - Allows AWS SES receive emails on behalf of our domain · These records could be used by any Domain Registrar to achieve our goal. However, because we’re using Route 53, we can have AWS manage all of it for us. The next step is to register an MX record in Route 53 so that other mail servers can send messages back and forth to your custom domain. This is a very important step! Here is documentation on how to add an MX record to your Route 53 hosted site.

  1. So you have purchased a new domain abc.com and have already set it up in Route53. Good. Now you want to point this domain to your other website xyz.com. So, you will go to Route53 console, and will create a CNAME record to point abc.com to xyz.com. What this CNAME record will do is create an alias for xyz.com. The Route53 console is self explanatory. If you will feel confused, just ping me here and ask specific doubts.

  2. To set up your email server with your own domain e.g. [email protected], you have to think what product you want to choose. There is Amazon workmail, Gmail for business, Office 365, etc. Each of these service will charge you. E.g. Amazon workmail charges you $4 per month, per user. Similarly gmail charges you $5. They will also give you additional benefits such as calendars, chat applications, etc. Once you have set this up, you can send and receive emails normally like you do in gmail.

If you would like to send bulk emails using an API, that is where Amazon SES comes in. This service will allow your already created email address to send thousands of email to your customers. It also serves other purposes such as creating a filter list of users, bouncing back messages that are not delivered, scanning for viruses, etc.

Q1 is simple enough. But the problem is, if you built your website by Weebly, as they don't allow FTP access, you can't get your website file out of Weebly. Then you can't put your website on S3. So the answer is, you can either stay with Weebly, or you have to build a new website without using online website building services like Weebly.

Be noticed that you can only host a static website on S3, which means no database, PHP etc is allowed.

For Q2, you misunderstood Amazon Web Services. They provide email sending service called SES (for companies which send 100,000 emails per day with cheap price), but they don't provide any email inbox. This fact bothered me and finally I solve the mailbox problem by setting up email forwarding on Godaddy, so that all incoming email of my domains could be forwarded to my personal email account. But if you registered your domain by Weebly, they provide email inbox service didn't they?
