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
