How to move a domain from Godaddy to AWS Route 53

Since Godaddy went down for some hours my client and I are very upset and want to change everything to AWS.

Everything is done so far, only the domains (blablabla.com) are missing, I'm having a hard time trying to migrate from godaddy to Route 53, Do I have to remove from one and create from scratch from AWS?

Does anyone have any experience on how to do this?

the solution:

Login on your aws console; Click on Route 53; Create Hosted Zone; Select your new created host title and click "Go to Record Sets", take note of the nameservers;

Login on your Godaddy account; Select your domain; Go to Nameservers and click SetNameservers; paste all the four you took from "Go to Record Sets" Route 53;

and that's it..., you don't have to rely on this horrible service Godaddy provides anymore
