Project Summary

I need assistance setting up DNS records for a new domain and ensuring a basic SSL certificate is active and functional.

Detailed Requirements

I've recently acquired a new domain for a small legal entertainment portal and need a freelancer to quickly configure its DNS settings and get basic SSL working.

Specific Requirements:

• Access: I will provide necessary access credentials for the domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.).

• A Record: Configure the main A record to point to a specific IP address (provided upon project start).

• CNAME Record: Set up the www CNAME record to point to the root domain.

• MX Records: Implement MX records for Google Workspace email services (specific records will be provided).

• TXT Record: Add a single TXT record for domain verification purposes.

• SSL: Verify that a basic SSL certificate (e.g., Let's Encrypt or similar via hosting) is correctly provisioned and active, making the site accessible via HTTPS.

• Propagation Check: Ensure proper DNS propagation is observed globally.

Deliverables

Upon completion, I expect the following:

• DNS Configuration: All specified DNS records (A, CNAME, MX, TXT) accurately configured on the domain registrar.

• SSL Activation: Confirmation that the website loads securely via HTTPS with an active SSL certificate.

• Verification: Screenshots or a quick report demonstrating successful DNS resolution and HTTPS access.

• Accessibility: The domain should be fully accessible and resolving correctly after the changes.

Timeline & Budget

• Expected Timeline: 1 Week

• Budget Range: $10 - $15
