Adding SSL to domain hosted on route 53 AWS

Question

I have added an IP to route 53 to make it a domain name and its working fine. But I dont know how could I add an ssl to that domain. Can anyone please refer me something how to do it?

Answer 1

Route 53 is DNS service. So you cannot add SSL to Domain directly in its. The way you should do is point you domain name to server ip. Then you create SSL in that server.

Here is route 53 explaination : https://aws.amazon.com/route53/

After you point it to server or some service you are using , you can generate SSL certificate from that server with https://letsencrypt.org/ Then, you setting up your webserver (i.e. apache,nginx) to serve your website with SSL.

Here is an Ubuntu server example : https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04

Edit New Version https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-18-04 You have a lot of options to add SSL to your domain. It's depend on what you are developing.
