Hello all,
My Amplify deployment has been successful, and it's connected to my Git repository, working great on the default domain.

However, setting up my custom domain has been tricky. I've double-checked multiple times to ensure all the required DNS records from Amplify are correctly added to my domain settings right after adding the domain, but no matter what I do, it remains stuck on this status. I've also tried deleting and re-adding it, but I'm feeling stuck. I've just been adding the records that are in the View DNS Records part in the domain page for Amplify. I have used DNSChecker and it seems to be properly pointed so I don't think it is causing the issue.

Additionally, I saw 4 name servers listed in Route 53 for my domain. I'm not sure if I need to add those to the DNS records,and Squarespace won't let me if we need to add them to our domain's DNS records.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hey @glacial mantle , the root cause is likely related to how the Route 53 hosted zone is setup with your domain registrar (Squarespace). Since you have a Route 53 hosted zone, I am assuming you want to use it as the primary DNS service. I'd recommend reviewing this Route 53 guide to ensure you have the correct NS records included in Squarespace's DNS settings: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/migrate-dns-domain-in-use.html#migrate-dns-change-name-servers-with-provider

If you want to migrate DNS service to Amazon Route 53 for a domain that is currently getting traffic—for example, if your users are using the domain name to browse to a website or access a web application—perform the procedures in this section.

Is there a way to do it without Route 53? I don't want to use it.

Yes, you should be able to just use the DNS settings in Squarespace. Since you've setup Route 53, I'd recommend carefully removing those changes and then following this guide to setup your domain: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amplify/latest/userguide/to-add-a-custom-domain-managed-by-a-third-party-dns-provider.html
