Houston, we have a website

We are making progress!

After making several attempts and getting a hold removed from my AWS account for Route53, we have secured a domain! I had some issues even after the hold was removed, because it kept erroring with the payments. Just another learning curve that I realized my default payment method was with an expired card. I then added another payment method but forgot to set it as default! Once I finally removed the expired card and set my new one to be default, we were in the clear.

I found a super helpful tutorial from AWS on how to set up my newly created resume HTML file and host it on S3. I also performed my first alias record creation!

Now for the final product...

Next steps!

  • HTTPS
  • A visitor counter with Javascript/DynamoDB

For anyone interested, here's the tutorial I followed to get it created: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/website-hosting-custom-domain-walkthrough.html
