domain name registration

I use porkbun for domain registration. Porkbun uses cloudflare for DNS.

There are 3 important pieces:

• domain registrar — pay for the name
• DNS — point to the webserver
• webserver — host the files

Steps I followed:

1. Verified https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/verifying-your-custom-domain-for-github-pages
2. Quick set up using porkbun https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/verifying-your-custom-domain-for-github-pages
3. Save the custom domain name in github pages https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site

Random stuff:

• A record is for IP address and C record points to another domain name.
