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:
- Verified https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/verifying-your-custom-domain-for-github-pages
- 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
- 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.
