Aspnetcore.docs: Install the .NET Core Hosting Bundle Link Not Working
When I visited this site for the first time, I selected my version ASP.NET Core 2.1 on the options at the left hand side. Then when I click the link: Install the .NET Core Hosting Bundle, nothing happens? So what is the link or is this the same link with ASP.NET Core 3.1 version since when ASP.NET Core 3.1 version is selected, the link is working.

... because the team will rev the version of 2.x and then the link will become stale. They might release a 2.2.9 version.
Let's go with ...

... and text that says download the Hosting Bundle for the version of .NET Core in use. I'll put up a PR for something along those lines.
You can get the exact 2.1 installer here ...
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.1
In the right column, you'll see the link there for "Hosting Bundle, and it goes to ...
