  Hello,

  I have my website + domain from Amazon Web services.

  I want to start afresh using the same domain but now with WordPress. I do not need any of the content from the old site.

  I want to keep using the provider (AWS) and my purchased domain (+instance). There are resources on AWS on how to start a WP instance:

  https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/tutorials/launch-a-wordpress-website/

  But I couldn’t find one that explains like the guide above how to change an existing domain to WP.

  Can someone point to me a resource with the steps how to do so? Most resources I’ve found offer migration plugins etc, but this is not what I am looking for.

  Further questions:
  What happens to the Drupal files on that instance?
  Do I need to map my domain? Why/why not?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
