Ezoic DNS and Hosting screwed up my site this morning. All of my root doman's A records are gone and even I added them back in, they are still not working. I am believing some of DNS configuration must be wrong in their backend. Support is not that much helping since it is out of their technical ability.Â
Fortunately I have a back up site created on my Oracle Cloud Arm64 machine. This post is to record all steps I did to switch from Ezoic hosting to my own hosting.
Make sure my backup wordpress site is up on one of my subdomain
All of my Nginx, Wordpress and DB dockers deployed by Portainer based on my previous post:- Using Portainer to Create Custom Wordpress Template on Arm64 Based VPS
- Install Docker, Docker-Compose, Portainer & Nginx on CentOS 8 & Ubuntu 20.04
Nginx configuration changed to add two websites in:
root@4ccb3643b7e4:/# cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/wp.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name opc2armwp.51sec.eu.org 51sec.org www.51sec.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://mywp_wordpress_1;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_read_timeout 300;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Real-PORT $remote_port;
}
}
Install All-in-One WP Migration Plug-ins  Â
Import the backup file into your wordpress site.
- All-in-one wp migration
- All-in-one wp migration unlimited extension or All-in-one wp migration file extension (512M limitation)
Other Backup Plug-ins:
Using UpdraftPlus as backup / restore solution
Backup / restoreWordpress configuration file change - wp-config.php
- define('WP_HOME','https://www.51sec.org');
- define('WP_SITEURL','https://www.51sec.org');

Cloudflare configuration
Add dns A record to point to my OCP's Arm64 machine's public IP. Remove all other Ezoic hosting's A records.
| ALIAS | @ | lb1.wphosting.ezoic.com | 5 mins | YES |
| CNAME | www | 51sec.org | 5 mins | Yes |
Make sure SSL/TLS encryption mode is full. Else, my photos URL which is using photo.51sec.org subdomain will fail to load. It will show an error to say there are too many redirections.
Install Certbot
- apt install certbot
- apt install python3-certbot-nginx
You will need both. Second command is to install Nginx plugin for Certbot.
Using following command to apply ssl cert for website www.51sec.org:
- certbot --nginx
After the step done, here is your wp.conf Nginx configuration looks like:
root@4ccb3643b7e4:/# cat /etc/nginx/conf.d/wp.conf
server {
listen 80;
server_name armwp.51sec.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://mywp_wordpress_1;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_read_timeout 300;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Real-PORT $remote_port;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.51sec.org/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.51sec.org/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
root@4ccb3643b7e4:/#
To get 51sec.org and www.51sec.org websites up, you will need to re-run " certbot --nginx " command to issue a certificate to the site. Else, you wont be able to access your site.
Before change cert by runningÂ
- certbot --nginx
:
After changed cert:
root@aafaecffd2d1:/etc/nginx/conf.d# cat 51sec.conf
server {
server_name 51sec.org www.51sec.org armwp.51sec.org;
location / {
proxy_pass http://my_wp_wordpress_1;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_read_timeout 300;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Real-PORT $remote_port;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.51sec.org/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.51sec.org/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = armwp.51sec.org) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
listen 80;
server_name armwp.51sec.org;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
root@aafaecffd2d1:/etc/nginx/conf.d- service nginx restart
