I started this project as a way to learn new skills with modern web technology. This post walks you through how to set up a new domain and get it pointing to your new host. I’m going to assume you have a semi-technical background. I would recommend setting up your hosting solution first, as you need something to point to once your domain is set up. I chose AWS EC2 as I wanted something cloud based and fast to spin up that allowed me to experiment with Docker.
