URL changes to *.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ when entering website, do I have a problem?

Question

I was browsing for help on how to connect a PS2 controller to my pc. I found what I was looking for here: https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/262873/do-playstation-2-controllers-support-usb-connections In the second comment he linked to a site with a guide. I right clicked and copied like a always do for safety, and pasted it in to the url bar. It showed this URL which seemed legit: http://store.curiousinventor.com/guides/PS2. But when I entered it the url changed to this: http://ec2-50-16-216-49.compute-1.amazonaws.com/ I am wondering if this is some form of malware that redirected me or if is it safe? I just recently reinstalled windows and I have avast antivirus and windows defender on, nothing popped up. I use Brave browser if that is to any help.

I do not know if this is the correct place to ask this question, but I'm paranoid and couldn't find a better place...

Thank you for your answers!

Nah, it's fine on your end— just an HTTP redirect. See below...

curl -v http://store.curiousinventor.com/guides/PS2
*   Trying 50.16.216.49...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to store.curiousinventor.com (50.16.216.49) port 80 (#0)

EDIT: That said, it doesn’t seem like that has anything to do with what you were looking for, so their website may have been compromised.
