DNS Providers Quick Reference

Provider	Dashboard URL	Propagation
Cloudflare	dash.cloudflare.com	Instant (proxied)
Namecheap	ap.www.namecheap.com	1–24 hours
GoDaddy	dcc.godaddy.com	1–24 hours
Google Domains	domains.google.com	1–48 hours
Route 53 (AWS)	console.aws.amazon.com/route53	1–24 hours

SSL/TLS

• Netlify: Automatic Let's Encrypt (free)
• Vercel: Automatic (free)
• Cloudflare: Universal SSL (free, edge-only) or Full SSL (end-to-end)

www vs non-www

Pick one and redirect the other:

• Set primary domain (e.g., example.com)
• Add redirect: www.example.com → example.com (301)
• Configure in hosting platform's redirect settings

Verification

# Check DNS propagation
dig example.com +short

# Check if SSL is active
curl -I https://example.com

# Check redirect
curl -I http://www.example.com

Troubleshooting

• DNS not propagating: Wait 24–48 hours, or flush local DNS cache
• SSL not working: Ensure DNS points to hosting provider, not old server
• Mixed content: Update all internal links to use https://
