How to Set Handshake HNS TLD Root Domain (Hack)

For right now - we know 3 ways

  • Sinpa’s Hosting option

    But both are 1 page options. both of these we discuss on SkyInclude.com/pagebuilder

  • Amazon s3

    This is how we got the Skyinclude.hns.to to work.

Amazon s3

So here’s how we did it.

First, follow the same steps we did in the [skyinclude.hns.to](https://multi4.mikesblogdesign.com/s3/>Amazon s3 for Handshake here.

But here's the difference
** The bucket name must be the same name as your TLD **

And here's the issue - Amazon s3 bucket names are GLOBAL.

so that means, if any other Amazon AWS customer has ever named their bucket your Handshake TLD name - then you cannot do this.

The other bummer is - as far as I know - buckets cannot be transferred between AWS accounts - even if both sides want it.

OK so let us hope you can name the bucket your TLD name.

You now need the IP address to set an A record.

Amazon doesn't seem to natively support this -

so our hack...which has worked and is working - is

We simply go to Terminal, and ping the site on the s3 public bucket.

Once we get that IP, we go to Namebase \(or wherever our TLD has its name servers - and hopefully that service supports A Records\) and put this IP address.

So for the last 4 months since we did this for

hope this helps.
