NTR: Buying a Domain

Buying a domain entails more work than it seems.

I bought “fusedthought.com” in the morning, and, after half a days work, I finally manage to get my domain up and running..

Here’s a rundown:

• The buying part was easy. It’s just a matter of giving your payment details and choosing your domain.
• Waiting for domain propagation was agonizing… A little waste of time. Thankfully, I still had my site to do..
• The DNS setting was painful. My registrar limits the number of records. So I had to find another free DNS service to use with less restrictions. After 3 switches, it was up.
• It was quite a breeze to set up Google Apps for Domains.  Now my email is contact[at]fusedthought.com

I’ll be moving all the essays and portfolio over once its done. My blog will be moving there also…

*shudders at the thought of all the permanent link redirection and updates…*

For now, back to work on my site…

Yay!
