title: Can't redirect Route 53 registered domain to IP address in S3 bucket
body: <p><strong>What I want to do:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am trying to set up routing from a website that I registered with <code>aws route 53</code> to an IP address that is outside of amazon servers (my home ip address). </p>
  
  <p><strong>Problem:</strong></p>
  
  <p>My <code>route 53</code> website will not redirect to destination set in an <code>S3 bucket</code>.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Things I have done:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Register domain with <code>Route 53</code> (let's call it <code>mywebsite.net</code>)</li>
  <li>Create an <code>S3 Bucket</code> called <code>mywebsite.net</code></li>
  <li>Set the bucket so it <code>Redirects all requests to another host name</code> to <code>mywebsite.net</code></li>
  <li>Create a public hosted zone for <code>mywebsite.net</code> called <code>mywebsite.net</code></li>
  <li>Add a record to the zone with default name <code>mywebsite.net</code></li>
  <li>Set the record <code>type</code> to <code>A - IPv4 address</code></li>
  <li>Set <code>Alias</code> to <code>Yes</code></li>
  <li>Set <code>Alias Target</code> to the bucket called <code>mywebsite.net</code></li>
  <li>Left remaining options to their defaults</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Things that work:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The bucket endpoint properly redirects to desired url</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Things that Don't work:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>The domain registered with <code>route 53</code> does not resolve/work at all</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Other information:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>When I go into terminal and execute the command <code>curl -i mywebsite.net</code></li>
  <li>it prints <code>curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'mywebsite.net'</code></li>
  </ul>
