Yes Route53 is actually made up of a Domain Registrar (where you purchase a domain name) and DNS service (where you host your DNS records that translate human-readable URL to machine readable IP Address) It is possible to have a route53 Hosted Zone with A records for a domain name that you own through a different registrar like GoDaddy. This is not as simple as using R53 for both but can be done and is fully supported. Just needs a few more steps. You can review the AWS documentation here for the detailed steps -- docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/MigratingDNS.html Hope this helps. Cheers!
