   Useful previews

   As someone who is often creating new pages, Netlify's preview makes the review process easier. You can also use the generated URL from Netlify's preview to run an SEO audit prior to going live. This is very useful for spotting bugs or broken redirects.

• New site redirect

  Hi all, I'm building a new site via Google Sites to replace my pre-existing web.com site. I would like the URL to remain the same. What do I need to do to redirect to the new Google Site once finished? Thanks in advance! Source: 6 months ago

• Just bought a domain name, how do I connect it to my html code?

  I'm not sure how to connect the html code to the domain name? I don't see an interface from web.com (purchasing site) other than their expensive website building packages. I don't want to pay that amount for developing the website as the point is to code the entire thing by hand. Source: 8 months ago

• Worst revival to make with?

• Google Domains is going away, now owned by SquareSpace. Well that sucks.

  A good analogy is to look at Network Solutions. It's a horrible company that is owned by web.com. Web.com only cares about sales and marketing. The registrar aspects just a path to cross-sell you on bullshit services. Source: 11 months ago

• Google domains closing, selling all assets and domains to Squarespace!

  This sucks. What I liked about Google Domains is that price remained the same year after year. Most registers are owned by a couple companies (web.com or something?) and every renewal it is some jacked up artificial price. $12 for the first year and somehow it is $36+ for the next? All the registers should be price regulated. Source: 11 months ago

  Forwarding: Forward or mask a domain to the Drive URL using services like netlify. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Building a (Virtual) Events Site

  The site is deployed to Netlify. There's really nothing special to share about that since Netlify makes the deployment super easy. A quirk of Hugo on Netlify means that I do need to specify the Hugo version as an environment variable but otherwise the deployment just works. One specific requirement of my site is to override the default Hugo build method to include the -F or --buildFuture flag because my events are... - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• My brother asked me to build a website for his new small business

  Cons are that it might be a bit heavy hitting for a simple website. You may find there to be a cost to host it, whereas using a static site generator will allow you to use the free tier on netlify.com. SSG's are easier to use and less work to do, including less security to worry about. Source: 8 months ago
