Domain Hosting go-live checklist
A short list before you point DNS at Domain Hosting: branding, publish, HTTPS, form, and the first announcement.
Domain Hosting is publish in the builder → HTML on your domain. This list is the day you flip DNS — not a second copy of the full launch guide.
Work top to bottom. Stop the announcement if HTTPS or the form fails.
Before DNS
| Check | Done when |
|---|---|
| Logo + favicon | Site settings → Branding — the live domain must not ship DevThunder chrome |
| Pages you need | Home, contact (or a clear next step), one services/about URL |
| Publish | Latest builder publish deployed; you previewed on the tenant URL |
| Form receiver | Decided — see contact forms on Domain Hosting |
| Mailbox path chosen (business email); MX is not an afterthought | |
| Redirect list | Old URLs mapped if you are replacing a site |
DNS and TLS
- Point
www(and apex, via flattening/ALIAS) as documented on Launch — or the records we sent you. - Wait for propagation. Do not tweet the new URL from office Wi-Fi only.
- Confirm HTTPS in an incognito window and on a phone. If the padlock argues, fix TLS before social.
Details: Domain Hosting.
After it resolves (15 minutes)
From cellular:
- Home, one inner page, contact — all HTTPS.
- Submit the form; email arrives in the inbox you named in the handoff.
- Tap-to-call and map, if you have them.
example.comandwww.example.comagree (redirect, not two sites).
First week
Expect a quiet rankings wobble if URLs changed, and one or two tiny fixes (OG image, footer hours, mobile spacing). That is normal.
Then pick a watch: DIY ping, or Care ($79/mo) for uptime and small copy. Pricing.
