Question

Hey, I want your guy's help asap I bought and paid for my VPS server and I uploaded the code over to my VPS server but right now I can't find my payment details or my VPS server the server IP was 54.255.112.164 It contains all my data and my code please help me in finding my server IP I will be very thankful
Let me make it clear for you, I purchased LightSail last year and this IP 54.255.112.164 was assigned to me we used to work daily on this IP by login into this IP and we used to put our code in it and amount was charged to every month for this by AWS. but for a while, I didn't log into this account right now My account is showing that it never gave me an IP and I need this IP badly as it has all my code and we have been working on this IP for like 8 months

Answer

54.255.112.164 resolves to an instance in ap-southeast-1 (Singapore):
```
$ nslookup 54.255.112.164
Server:  dns.google
Address:  8.8.8.8

Name:    ec2-54-255-112-164.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com
Address:  54.255.112.164
```
Does this sound like the region that your Lightsail instance is in?

I can establish a connection on port 22 to that IP address, suggesting that it's running Linux and accepting SSH connections. Are you able to connect to it using SSH? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/amazon-lightsail-ssh-using-terminal.html
```
$ nc -vz 54.255.112.164 22
Connection to 54.255.112.164 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded!
$
```

Answer

Your best option will be to login to the Lightsail console to manage the instance and confirm the IP.

If you have lost access to the account follow the procedure to regain access.

Hope this helps!
