|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
* Choose the instance you just created
|
|
|
|
|
* Create an `A record` at your domain name registrar to point at the Elastic IP then wait for those changes to propagate.

**NOTE** This could take up to 48 hours, use `dig domain.club +nostats +nocomments +nocmd` to see if you're in business.
