How to Configure AWS Load Balancer to a Hostinger VPS with GoDaddy Domain?
I have a Hostinger VPS and a domain. My VPS is receiving too much traffic and can't handle the load. I've decided to use an AWS Application Load Balancer to distribute the traffic.
I understand that a load balancer is typically used with EC2 instances. My question is, how can I configure an AWS Application Load Balancer to direct incoming traffic to my Hostinger VPS?
What are the specific steps to:
Set up the AWS Application Load Balancer?
Create a target group for my Hostinger VPS?
Connect the load balancer to the vps?
Any detailed steps, configuration examples, or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
@pradeepkumar_palanisamy You’re going to use a load balance to balance the load to one VPS…? I don’t think you understand what a load balancer is.
A load balancer is not a magic “make-server-handle-more-requests” technique. You should instead be looking at why your VPS is unable to serve the traffic it is receiving. It takes a long time before a standard LAMP or LEMP set-up is unable to handle load, so I imagine there will be various places your existing application can be optimised. But you need to actually measure what is occupying your server’s resources in order to fix it. Slapping a load balancer in front of the server is not the answer.
