Adding a domain name to your wordpress site

For GoDaddy domains see: https://www.godaddy.com/help/edit-my-domain-nameservers-664

For Others follow this guide: https://sitebeginner.com/domains/domaintosite/

1. Follow the above guides to point your NS records from your hosting provider to whatever cloud service you might be using. (if not using a cloud instance ignore this step and continue on)

2. Access your DNS Configuration and change your 'A' or 'Root' Record, to point to your server's IP address. (make sure apache2 is running on port 80 & is web-facing)

3. In your DNS Config, change your CNAME to 'www.mywebsite.com' <- or whatever top-level-domain you're using

(This step is on command line)

nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

OR

nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

4. Once nano'd into your apache configuration file, you'll want to edit the following:

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost <- this will be the server admin's email

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/wordpress <- if your wordpress installation is in this location, leave it!

5. You'll want to add the following below '#LogLevel info ssl:warn'

ServerName mywebsite.com <- this will be the website domain name

ServerAlias www.mywebsite.com <- this will be your domain CNAME (the www)

6. sudo systemctl restart apache2.service

For SSL certification, needs a custom domain name

sudo apt install certbot python3-certbot-apache

sudo certbot --apache
