So I have a bucket set up on Amazon S3, which is configured as a site, and is accessible via the endpoint address.
When I go to paste this endpoint address into 1and1’s control panel, it tells me it’s too long (past the ridiculous 30 character limit).
What are my options instead, here? 1and1 allows me to change the DNS, or add an IP address as the A record. If either is applicable here, what value would it be set to, bearing in mind my bucket is in the Ireland datacenter.
Thanks all.
Here was my solution after 1&1 were ridiculously unhelpful. It involves an external DNS provider, but oh well, it works just fine.
I signed up for Namecheap’s FreeDNS service with the naked domain (i.e. don’t include the ‘www’). Point your DNS records with 1&1 to use Namecheap’s servers.
The records are then set up as:
The top line sorts out the naked domain issue (and I seem to recall trying it set to the CNAME also and it didn’t work), and the TTLs can be changed for whatever you feel is appropriate.
