The goal of this project is to learn and practice the basics of DNS. You are required to purchase a custom domain name and setup the basic DNS records.
You are required to have a custom domain name to complete this project. You can use the domain name you already own or purchase a new domain name from any provider such as Cloudflare, Namecheap, Godaddy etc. Once you have a domain name, you can proceed to the next step.
If you have not completed the GitHub pages project, go ahead and complete that project first. Once you have a github pages site setup, set up your custom domain name to point to your github pages site.
If you have not completed the Static Site Server project, go ahead and complete that project first so you have a basic static site to serve. Once you have a digital ocean droplet setup serving a static site, set up your DNS records to point to your droplet.
