After registering a domain name, it is necessary to have DNS resolution to the corresponding domestic server of the cloud service provider and have active visits to avoid revocation of the filing. However, Alibaba Cloud's servers are expensive, so only a homepage can be hosted on Function Compute to maintain the filing. The homepage project used is KZHomePage. Download the latest version from the releases and modify the homepage according to the comments. Apply for a free domain certificate from Alibaba Cloud Digital Certificate Management Service to avoid using the root domain. Create a service in Function Compute and then create a function in the service, selecting custom runtime and handling HTTP requests. Choose NGINX as the runtime environment and adjust the specifications to the minimum in advanced configurations. Upload the homepage and deploy the code to make it effective. In the domain management of Function Compute, add a custom domain, but cannot use the root domain due to CNAME verification. Bind the route to the previously created function and remember to manually update the certificate every year. Add a monitoring item in Uptime to ensure active visits to the homepage.
