I am looking for a solution to mitigating 2 days of downtime.
I reached out to network solutions and they do not have control over the TTL of the Name Server records (which is 2 days or 172800 seconds).
Current Strategy
Planned Migration Steps :
Migrate Name server – First Migrating Nameserver to AWS.
Step 1: Create a Hosted zone in AWS Route 53.
Step 2: Add DNS Entries from Network Solution to Route 53.
Step 3: Replace Name server in Network solution form default to AWS Hosted Zone Name Server.
Step 4: Verify Name Server successful migration. After the successful migration of nameserver to AWS Route 53, any further changes to the DNS entries need to be made through Route 53.
- Migrate Domain – Migrate Domain to AWS:
Step 1: Unlock domain from Network Solution.
Step 2: Initiate Domain Migration Steps from Route 53
Step 3: Verify email sent from AWS for verification purposes.
Step 4: Provide Authorization Token To AWS
Step 5: Validate Domain Migration
Step 6: Enable Transfer Lock.
Please advise if there are any other recommendations to mitigating 2 days of downtime.
