I have what might be a simple question. I have three domains that all have DNS hosting with Amazon Route 53. I happened to do a Reverse IP Lookup and noticed that all three domain IP addresses are almost identical. Example: 205.251.193.XX. Why are they all practically identical? Are they all practically Identical because I'm using my AWS Route 53 account for DNS hosting?

@OnePageZen 6 жыл бұрын

I'm not really sure why they're practically identical, but yes - it does have to do with the fact that you're using Route 53 for your DNS.

This is great information, however you just created a Hosted Zone on AWS the domain is still not transferred.

@julianreyes3114 5 жыл бұрын

What do you mean? Wouldn't it be 'transferred' when he puts the name servers from AWS onto the name server section from the domain name provider? I'm trying to do this myself but an not sure if this will completely work.

@tshepoarmstrong9849 5 жыл бұрын

@@julianreyes3114 If you purchase a domain on AWS, the service will automatically create a Hosted zone for that domain. But if your domain is sitting with a different registrar and you want to point your AWS hosted application on it, you'll need to created a hosted zone for that domain on AWS and it will provide you with Nameservers. You'll need to copy and update the provided nameservers to your domain registrar(Same like this video) . However that does not mean you have transferred the domain to AWS. If you had emails running on that same domain, once you update the provided nameservers fromyour created hosted zone your emails will stop working. You'll need to copy the MX Records from you registrar and updated them to your AWS Hosted Zone to get your emails working. You can request transfer domain on AWS Route53, meaning your domain won't be sitting with a different registrar. It'll be like purchasing the same domain again.

Each time, I restart server, the IP is changing - this is pretty inconvenient! Is it possible to assign a static IP to a EC2 instance similar to what we can do in an Lightsail instance? Also what is Elastic IP?

@Tomsonx232 4 жыл бұрын

AWS Elastic IP is a static IP. You need to set up your EC2 instance with a static IP otherwise as you've seen you will get a new IP every time you restart the server

wanted to say thanks for the video, but I'm having a little issue with the rewrite rules. I thought it was me because I'm a noob LOL but I noticed that your video and text instructions are different. Do I stick the rewrite under

@OnePageZen 5 жыл бұрын

Yea - I had the wrong link in the description - fixed. Anyways, put the rewrite rules under the DocumentRoot line. Use the following three lines if you want your website to display your domain with www in front (replace example.com with your own domain): ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias example.com Redirect permanent / www.example.com/ Remember to login to WordPress and change your site URLs to your preferred domain as well. It's a bit tricky with Bitnami, as you can't edit the site URLs from the admin dashboard. Open your wp-config.php file for editing: nano /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php Then add the following lines of code at the bottom - remembering to replace example.com with your own domain name: define('WP_SITEURL', 'www.example.com/'); define('WP_HOME', 'www.example.com/'); ^^ Copy and paste this code from the code block in the link below. Don't copy and paste from KZfaq as the ' character is formatted differently: www.onepagezen.com/domain-name-configuration-wordpress-google-cloud/ Let me know if you have any questions, Joe
