thepaperpilot I've upvote about 85k comments on Reddit and I'm curious to see if I can successfully have my site generator make a page for each one. It's going to be a very long RSS feed haha

# dormouse_hours_59241 Does anyone have any learning resources about how web domains work? I recently moved my site from Wix to Netlify, and I didn't like the process of copying and pasting codes I didn't understand, with names made of acronyms for words I didn't understand, I nearly broke my email, and didn't understand nearly any documentation about how any of it worked or what I was supposed to do if I had an issue. It was really stress
# capjamesg[d] dormouse_hours_59241[d] Where did you buy your domain from? Was it Wix?

[schmarty] i feel like when Julie Evans has a zine about a topic, i have to plug it 😄 https://wizardzines.com/zines/dns/
# capjamesg[d] Does anyone here use Netlify?

# capjamesg[d] dormouse_hours_59241[d] This blog post may be helpful: https://www.netlify.com/blog/2021/12/20/how-to-add-custom-domains-to-netlify-sites/
# capjamesg[d] The example registrar is name.com, but the advice will be applicable to Godaddy too.
# capjamesg[d] This documentation says specifically what record you need to add in Godaddy: https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/custom-domains/configure-external-dns/#configure-an-apex-domain
# capjamesg[d] In your case, you should add one record to your GoDaddy registration: CNAME @ apex-loadbalancer.netlify.com
# capjamesg[d] Then, in Netlify, add your domain.
# capjamesg[d] You don't need to change any other recods. Netlify will figure out the rest.

# dormouse_hours_59241 capjamesg[d]: So this is the kind of docs I followed, and my site is online just fine, but I'm more looking for something that explains what a cname or nameservers or 'apex' domain is, and how these concepts fit together
# dormouse_hours_59241 https://docs.netlify.com/domains-https/troubleshooting-tips/#dns-configuration
# dormouse_hours_59241 And this page reccomends using 'dig' to troubleshoot issues. But I read and re-read the article several times and had no idea how to even start using this tool that was supposed to help me define the problem I had. I don’t hold it against anyone who wrote this content, it's clearly just meant for someone above my skill level, but if something more complicated had gone wrong, I didn't know how to even start asking o
