    The most common source of confusion with DNS is the difference between the registrar and the DNS provider since usually the same company provides both services. In your case, you changed the DNS provider from GoDaddy to DreamHost when you pointed the name servers at DreamHost. All other DNS changes are done at the DNS provider. The only thing you can change at the registrar is who your DNS provider is.

You can find out the ip here:

http://ping.eu/nslookup/

So currently the Domain nomadapp.in is mapping to the IP 64.90.45.47. ( Dreamhost Server )

If you want blog.nomadapp.in you have to map this domain via A Record to the IP 64.90.45.47 And stats.nomadapp.in to the IP 64.90.45.47 too. ( I dont know the DNS Management from Dreamhost )

The Domain nomadapp.in you have to map to the AWS EC2 via A Record or CNAME.

You can change the DNS Records where you Domain ist registered. It seems that you registred the Domain via Dreamhost. See here the DNS docu from Dreamhost -> http://wiki.dreamhost.com/DNS

Please notice that it can take up to 48 hours untill the DNS Nameserver is updated.

    Point the first IP to AWS EC2. Point blog to the IP of the server where your blog is hosted. The same thing with stats. And no it will not slow down your site :)

All you have to do is setup an A record for each service that points to the relevant IP address.

You should probably also familiarise your self with the DNS and how DNS works.

  • You should do it where your DNS is managed.

  • will forwarding DNS from Godaddy to Dreamhost and then setting the a record in Dreamhost to AWS slow the ping time?
