Amazon EC2 Multi Domain Setup and Technology Behind 9lessons

Recent days I received lots for requests from my readers that asked to me few questions about 9lessons.info hosting and CMS technology. This post explains you how do I setup my domains + sub domains with Blogger and Amazon EC2 hosting. How to setup multi domains setup in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud using htaccess file.

Why Blogger

It's powerful, fast and it is Google's product. 9lessons.info powered my many cloud services picasa for images, download scripts by box.net and revenue by Google adsense
