Now, we will make a domain name point to our machine in the cloud. For this part of the tutorial, I’m using “everydns.com” for dynamic dns. There are a number of solutions available. This one is free so anyone can follow along.

First, login to wherever your domain name is (for instance, godaddy.com) and edit the nameservers. Change your nameservers to ns(1 through 4).everydns.net and apply.

Go to everydns.com and create an account.

After successfully logging in, add a new domain using their sidebar. After adding it, click on it in the list.

If you can, delete any existing records. You won’t need them anymore.

Remember that ElasticIP we created earlier? It’s back in ElasticFox under the “Elastic IP” tab. Get that into your clipboard.

In everydns, add an A record with this IP and your domain name (without “www”)

Add a cname record for “www” with the record value being the domain you just entered.

Your domain will now point to the correct IP for that server instance. After a few hours, clear your DNS caches and type in the url. It will be the same page we saw in part three after typing in the IP.
