I'm having a doubt with my actions right now.

I tried to create load balancer on AWS

and they gave some thing like

enter image description here

Now I'm using BlueHost for my DNS Provider

So I tried to put the Name (_46cc9****.domain.com.) value from AWS to Bluehost Host field

Also tried to put Value (_8fd103b4*******.auiqqraehs.acm-validations.aws.) field from aws to bluehost Points To field

but it only accepts if I disregard the underscore

enter image description here

Am I doing this right? Because seems something is wrong.

As you can see image above. It only gets the encrypted text for both HOST and POINTS TO

  • *"but it only accepts if..."* What does "only accepts" mean? Is there an error message? – Michael - sqlbot May 04 '20 at 11:34
  • That validation record screenshot from AWS does not appear to be related to the creation of a load balancer. It looks like you are trying to setup a domain name in Route53, which is not needed to simply create a load balancer. There's nothing in any of your screenshots or info that is in any way related to a load balancer. – Mark B May 04 '20 at 14:47

Solved my Problem by doing the following

Based on my Exploring, I needed to contact the domain provider just to add the CNAME that I need. So they put it for me.

After CNAME has been placed to my domain provider. My Load Balancer Certificate automatically gets Verified.

From that point you already have the Load Balancer with SSL attached itself.

That's why I was able to mapped my A Record for www.domain.com , wildcard *.domain.com and domain.com in the Route53 using my Load Balancer created.

From that point it's already pointed to your domain.

Hope this helps others.

IN ADDITION If you're running

apache 2.4 on your Linux AMI 2.

You may want to configure here your VHOST Configuration & Redirect permant of Port 80 to 443. This will allow you to make the site automatically redirects to HTTPS.

  • Can confirm - BlueHost apparently does not allow DNS record values to start with an underscore (_) by default. I had to contact them and get them to add it manually. (One note: I think they changed a setting on my account, because ever since I contacted them, I've had no issues adding values with leading underscores.) – SFlagg Nov 24 '20 at 09:31
