Route 53 DNS setup for BlogPath at /blog

What you are configuring

• Record type: CNAME for subdomains; A (ALIAS to hostname) if you must use apex.
• Name: blog (or the hostname you added in BlogPath)
• Value/Target: proxy.blogpath.io
• Routing policy: Simple
• TTL: 300s (or lower)

Steps in Route 53

1. Open AWS Console → Route 53 → Hosted zones → select your domain.
2. Click Create record.
3. For a subdomain:
   • Record name: blog (or your chosen host).
   • Record type: CNAME.
   • Value: proxy.blogpath.io.
   • TTL: 300.
   • Routing policy: Simple routing.
   • Save.
4. For apex (not preferred):
   • Record name: leave blank or @.
   • Record type: A.
   • Enable Alias and set Alias target to proxy.blogpath.io.
   • TTL: 300.
   • Save.
   • Note: keep your main site reachable via BlogPath fallback origin so non-blog paths keep working.

Verify

Back in BlogPath, run DNS check → Verify. Route 53 propagation is usually under 5 minutes. If verification fails, ensure no older A/AAAA record exists for the same hostname.
