Bind AWS IP with Hostinger Sub-Domain To bind an AWS IP address to a Hostinger subdomain, you need to update the DNS records of your Hostinger domain to point to the AWS IP address. Here’s a step-by-step guide to achieve this: Step1: Find the AWS IP Address If you have an EC2 instance, you can find the IP address in the AWS Management Console under the "Instances" section. Note the Public IPv4 address. Step2: Access Hostinger DNS Management Log in to your Hostinger account. Go to the "Domains" section and select the domain for which you want to configure the subdomain. Navigate to the "DNS Zone" or "DNS Settings" for that domain. Step3: Create a Subdomain and Point to AWS IP In the DNS settings, create a new A record. Set the "Name" or "Host" field to your subdomain (e.g., subdomain.yourdomain.com ). Set the "Points to" or "Value" field to your AWS IP address. Set the TTL (Time to Live) to the default value
I am writing this blogpost just for one reason which is whenever we search google for installation of 2 operating systems on single PC, there are so many descriptive blogs and tutorial videos of "how to" but the authors and publishers sometimes perhaps deliberately forget to mention that what is the true purpose of their blogpost or video. This usually deviates the newbie or less techno person from their target purpose, instead redirects to other ventures which he/she is not wanting and hence cause frustration.
In this blogpost I will clearly inform regarding WSL and WSL2 and I will also clearly state the purpose of using WSL for installing Linux on Windows. So lets start.
What is WSL and WSL2
Let's start with the brief information of WSL and WSL2. WSL stands for Windows Subsystem for Linux Architecture which is GNU / Linux Environment including most of the command-line tools, utilities, and applications and most importantly it runs Selected Linux Distribution directly on Windows which is unmodified and without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dual boot setup.
Whereas, WSL2 is a new version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux Architecture which empowers WSL to run ELF64 Linux binaries on Windows. The primary goal is to increase file system performance as well as adding full system call compatibility.
Purpose of Using WSL and WSL2
First and very important fact to know about using WSL is that IF YOU NEED TO INSTALL LINUX DISTRIBUTION INSIDE WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT, WSL is the best and legal way for you. INSIDE means that you have a running Windows 10 or Windows 11 and you want to run Linux Distribution so that the Windows is still running and you will be able to use the command line of Linux Distribution inside the running Windows. This method will not create dual boot of Windows and Linux Distribution.
Installation Methodology
So let's now assume that if you are still reading this blogpost, it might mean that you have already understood the purpose of using WSL and WSL2 for installation on Linux Distribution inside Windows Environment and perhaps you are going to use this method. So let's start the Installation procedure.
1. Open Control Panel of Windows 10 / 11
3. Now click on Programs and Features
4. On the left side of the screen see for Turn Windows Features On and Off and click on it
5. It will open new window Windows Features
6. Scroll down to the option Windows Subsystem for Linux and enable it "click on the check box to enable it" and press OK button. This will first search for the required tools and then apply changes.
7. Restart your Windows
9. Open Windows Market and search for your desired distribution of Linux. In my case, I wanted to install latest available distribution of Ubuntu so I searched for Ubuntu and clicked to open it as shown in the pictures below.
10. All done! You are now ready to use your Linux inside Windows Environment.
I hope I have made it easy to understand. Please feel free to ask any questions.
