how to change domain name in aws?

  • 772

I am new to Amazon AWS EC2. I have setup a wordpress blog on the EC2 instance. Everything is fine except the ugly looking domain name. ec2-xx-xx-143-xxx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

How can I change this ec2-xx-xx-143-xxx.us-west-2.compute to something like tintinnotes.amazonws.com

Pl. not that I don't want to buy a domain name for this tintinnotes.com, I just want an aliasing of instance name to my blog name just like wordpress has something like tintinnotes.wordpress.com

Update: I now have got a domain name registered with name techweblogs.co.uk from fasthosts.co.uk. Now I want to point the aws instance to this domain. How can I do this?

amazon-ec2

    Without buying a domain name it will not be possible for you to get rid of the amazon long Public Name. You cannot do aliasing to wordpress.com domain , even for that you require your own domain name.

  2. You cannot change in EC2. That being said, you can request Reverse DNS if trying to setup an email server. Just create a A record pointed at your elastic IP. This will essentially provide you that. There are no custom subdomains like your describing in AWS.
