Kartra Custom Domain Test

Well, that didn't go so well.

Setting a CNAME for www.howtofixinsomnia.com (testing this with the "fix insomnia" web) was easy enough.  In theory, by tomorrow it'll be linked up with kartra all nice and fancy.

However, redirecting howtofixinsomnia.com to https//www.howtofixinsomnia.com was a fucking disaster with AWS.  Appearently, the way to do this is COMPLEX.  WHY!??

1. Make a static redirect site with an S3 bucket.
2. Configure Cloudfront to work with the S3 bucket.
3. .... WHY THE FUCK CAN I NOT JUST USE ROUTE 53 TO POINT THE MAIN URL @ THE WWW.  JESUS.

Anyways full guide is below... stay away... stay far, far away...

So... for now... I am stuck using my website, with kartra's pages and their little favicon... I could try to route everything using GoDaddy but it'd prob be fucking annoying resetting up my email and shit... not worth it, this was supposed to be a cake walk.  Plus, when I go back to Amazon, I'd have to figure everything out again.  Too much of a pain
