Step 1: Launch & Configure EC2 Instance

1. Go to AWS EC2 Console → Launch Instance.

2. Choose Amazon Linux / Ubuntu.

3. Select t2.micro (Free Tier eligible).

4. Configure:

   • Allow HTTP (80), HTTPS (443), and SSH (22) ports.

5. Launch & download the .pem key pair.

6. SSH into your EC2 instance:

ssh -i my-key.pem ec2-user@EC2-Public-IP

7. Install Web Server (for static website):

sudo yum update -y
sudo yum install httpd -y
sudo systemctl start httpd
sudo systemctl enable httpd

8. Upload your website files to /var/www/html/:

sudo rm -rf /var/www/html/*
sudo cp -r /home/ec2-user/mywebsite/* /var/www/html/

---

Step 2: Allocate Elastic IP (Static IP)

1. Go to EC2 > Elastic IPs.
2. Allocate New Address.
3. Associate it with your running EC2 instance.
4. Use this Elastic IP as your public IP for the website.

Step 3: Setup Route 53 (Scalable DNS)

1. Go to Route 53 → Registered Domains:

   • Purchase a new domain (e.g., adityaindana.tech) OR use an existing one from:

     • get.tech
     • Namecheap
     • Name.com
     • GoDaddy.com

2. After purchase:

   • Go to Hosted Zones → Create Hosted Zone.
   • Domain Name: adityaindana.tech.
   • Type: Public Hosted Zone.
   • It will auto-create 2 default records (NS & SOA).

3. Create a Record:

   • Record Name: (leave blank for root domain OR use "www" / "maya" for subdomain)
   • Type: A (IPv4 address)
   • Value: Your Elastic IP (e.g., 3.11.233.223)
   • Routing Policy: Simple.
   • TTL: Default (300 sec).

---

Step 4: Update Domain Name Servers (If Using 3rd Party Provider)

1. In Route 53 → Hosted Zone → Copy 4 NS (Name Servers):

ns-123.awsdns-45.net
ns-234.awsdns-67.com
ns-345.awsdns-89.org
ns-456.awsdns-10.co.uk

2. Go to your Domain Provider (e.g., get.tech, GoDaddy, Namecheap):

   • Select your domain → Manage DNS.
   • Replace their nameservers with the AWS provided ones.

3. Save & Verify (may take 5-10 mins).

---

Step 5: SSL Certificate (HTTPS Security)

1. Go to AWS Certificate Manager (ACM).

2. Request a Public Certificate:

   • Domain Name: adityaindana.tech and/or *.adityaindana.tech (for subdomains).

3. Validation: Use DNS Validation (automatically create validation CNAME record via Route 53).

4. After validation is complete → SSL Certificate is issued.

5. Attach SSL in:

   • CloudFront (for S3/static)
   • OR Elastic Load Balancer (for EC2/Dynamic)
   • OR Use Certbot on EC2 if no Load Balancer:

sudo amazon-linux-extras install epel -y
sudo yum install certbot python2-certbot-apache -y
sudo certbot --apache
