I am trying to link my godaddy domain with my Elastic Beanstalk app, I did everything in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLrE3eGHAR4 although I don't know its right or wrong. I also tried few other things but its not working. Also let me know if there are few other steps that I need to do which are not mentioned in the video.

Thanks in advance

To help you guys more I will add more information, this is what I did so far,

  1. Associated an Elastic IP address with my running instance.
  2. Created a Hosted Zone and again that created a new Record set for www. and added my Elastic IP address in values.
  3. I updated the NS from the hosted zone into my Nameservers and clicked save.

basically did everything as it was shown in the video.

I know it shows it takes 1 hour to 48 hours to propagate changes over the internet, but it is done maximum within 1 hour if everything is done right.

I hope this information helps.

This video is correct. It requires some time to make it valid. - study
what do u mean by make it valid ? - Hrishikesh Sardar

If you use a Domain Hosted by a Third Party (such as GoDaddy), you just need to add a CName(Alias) record in GoDaddy's DNS Zone File and point it to your EB URL. Otherwise, If you want to use a Domain Hosted by Amazon Route 53, you need follow the video to set up route 53 nameserver in GoDaddy. - study
I followed the video exactly but its not working, in the first option you mentioned, for which CName record in GoDaddy's DNS Zone File should I point my EB URL ? - Hrishikesh Sardar

If you need assign to beanstalk environment custom domain name, you need to create CNAME record in your DNS and point it on elastic beanstalk environment hostname.
