Entering Route53 Nameservers gives me errors on Godaddy

Question

I have set up an elastic IP for my EC2 instance on Amazon Web Services.
I have also set up the correct Record Sets in Route53

Answer 1

There are two types of nameservers, with one you can define nameservers that share your domain, like ns1.domain.com and the other where you can specify 1 or more name servers to resolve queries for your domain.

I believe you are trying to update the first one, when you should update the second one.

Answer 2

You have to copy the aws nameservers without '.' at the end and add to the following name server field.

aws nameservers:

-ns-*.awsdns-.com

-ns-****.awsdns-**.co.uk

-ns-*.awsdns-.net

-ns-****.awsdns-**.org

In the Godaddy setting:

Domains ->set nameserver->custom->ns-*.awsdns-.com

Answer 3

In the Go Daddy Domain Control Panel, don't launch the DNS manager...  Instead, click on the "Set Nameservers" link, just to the left of that.  

Select the radio button next to "I have specific nameservers for my domains" and then populate the 4 nameserver hostnames provided by Route 53, into those 4 boxes.

Don't enter the dot at the end of each nameserver name into the boxes.
