[SOLVED] How can I find my Nameservers on amazon ec2 server?

Issue

I recently got an Amazon EC2 micro server to learn how to use nodejs. (I am not servers savvy BTW).

I managed to install everything and having nodejs running on the server and running their example script.

on Amazon I set the server security group to allow all / icmap - all/ tcp - 0-65535/ ssh/HTTP/HTTPS so basically everything is allowed more or less.

My question is how can I find my nameserver so I can use them on a new domain that I've bought.

I might be completely wrong and missing many steps if so. Do you know of a good tutorial on how to do that?

Thanks and sorry for the general question.

Solution

I believe what you want to do is point your domain to your new server.

You can do a couple of things in your domain registrar (where you bought your domain)

1. Add an A PTR record on your domain to point to the IP address of the server.
2. Add a CNAME record to point to the EC2 DNS name of your instance.

You can find the IP address and EC2 DNS name of your instance on the EC2 console:
