Can I use a domain name I already own with my AWS-hosted website? Question
I'm hoping to move my website to cloud hosting using AWS. Can I use my existing domain with AWS, or do I need to buy a new domain at AWS?
If I can use the domain I already own, how do I transfer it to AWS or point it to AWS?

Yes. If you are hosting it on an EC2, AWS has the Elastic IP service that provides you with a static IP on demand. Amazon docs explain it in detail. Just set up the eIP and point your DNS to that.
Note that you may be billed for eIPs, although I believe there is a way to use it for free in a limited capacity. This should also be in the docs ("pricing" section).
