I have gone through the steps over, and over, but I just cannot figure out how to bind my Domain name to my temporary instance. I have done everything according to your help pages, but I can't log in with FTP - Filezilla says Cannot connect to server. When I do the website health check it says: You need to direct the domain name to the correct address. I am completely stuck. I bought the Domain from Alibaba Cloud, I have set up the Alibaba Cloud DNS, and done everything, but I am missing some cruicial step. It appears to be bound - When I added the CNAME entry in the Alibaba Cloud DNS with the domain I purchased and the value of the temporary site it said: Resolution added. When I click Resolve on the Domain I purchased in the Domains list it comes up correctly with the value of the temporary site. In the Manage screen, at the top it says Bind Domain Name (Finished).
I am hopelessly lost. I also tried to set up an ECS server, and I couldn't log in. I love the cheap prices, and great promotional power of Alibaba Cloud, I just wish there was an easier way to get started with hosting. I think what would help a lot is clearer and very detailed step-by-step instructions, with actual screen captures of what the user will be seeing at every step. Without a clear process of how to get Hosting started, and useful tutorials, I can only see failure and frustration for many new users. To me if the whole concept of the 11-11 promotion was to increase sales, it may work, but without clear instructions or much simpler and user-friendly screens for beginners, it will end up hurting Alibaba Clouds reputation. If even advanced users like myself can't figure out how to get hosting started, how will beginners fair? |

What is your domain name?
Did you buy from Alibaba Cloud? I suggest you create a ticket in web console and get more help |

Welcome to the Alibaba cloud scam. It just can not be done. I have been opening tickets for a month and a half and my hosting did not link to my domain, both of them acquired in this cloud junk.
You will learn to hate the message: "You need to direct the domain name to the correct address" The customer service is non-existent. Do not waste time with this shit. Better Google Cloud. |
