Register, manage, and protect domain names with practical DNS and security guidance.
Register, manage, and protect domain names with practical DNS and security guidance.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Check availability on the registrar directly โ WHOIS lookups from third parties can trigger front-running (someone registers it before you) Search for the domain name + "scam" or "controversy" โ previous owners leave reputation baggage Verify trademark conflicts before investing in branding โ legal disputes are expensive
.com still has highest trust for general audiences โ alternatives work but require more brand building Country TLDs (.co.uk, .de) rank better in local search โ use them for geo-targeted businesses New TLDs (.io, .ai, .dev) work for tech audiences but confuse mainstream users Premium domains have recurring premium renewal fees, not just higher initial cost โ check yearly price
Enable auto-renewal immediately โ domains lost to expiration get scooped by squatters within hours Buy WHOIS privacy โ public registration data leads to endless spam and social engineering attempts Register for multiple years if the domain is important โ shows search engines you're serious Use a dedicated email for registrar accounts โ losing access to that email means losing the domain
DNS changes take 24-48 hours to fully propagate โ plan migrations accordingly TTL (Time To Live) should be lowered before migrations, raised after โ low TTL during normal operation wastes resources A records point to IP addresses, CNAME points to another domain โ never CNAME the root domain MX records for email are separate from web hosting โ moving hosts doesn't require changing email if MX stays
Enable registrar lock (clientTransferProhibited) โ prevents unauthorized transfers DNSSEC adds cryptographic verification โ worth enabling but breaks if misconfigured Two-factor on registrar account is mandatory โ domain hijacking is common attack vector Authorization/EPP code is the password for transfers โ treat it like a credential
60-day lock after registration or previous transfer โ plan ahead, can't transfer immediately Transfers extend registration by one year โ not wasted money Unlock domain and get auth code before initiating โ missing either blocks the transfer Some TLDs have special transfer rules โ .uk, .de, and others differ from standard process
Grace period (usually 30 days) allows renewal at normal price โ but risky, site goes down Redemption period costs 10-20x normal renewal โ expensive mistake After redemption, domain goes to auction or open registration โ you've lost it Expired domains with backlinks get bought by spammers โ protect your brand's domains even if unused
Register common misspellings and redirect โ typosquatters will otherwise profit from your traffic Consider .com + main country TLD at minimum โ others only if brand is valuable Subdomains are free and instant โ don't buy domains for every project, use subdomains for experiments Consolidate domains at one registrar โ easier management, less credential sprawl
Registering through web host instead of dedicated registrar โ harder to move later, often more expensive Letting domains expire assuming no one cares โ competitors and squatters monitor expirations Using registrar's free email forwarding for critical accounts โ tied to domain renewal, single point of failure Not documenting which domains exist where โ large organizations lose track and lose domains
