Create ownership verification JSON for nihal-gupta

[Nihal-Gupta]

Add ownership verification record for nihal-gupta.is-a.dev.

Requirements

• I agree to the Terms of Service.
• My file is following the domain structure.
• My website is reachable and completed.
• My website is software development related.
• My website is not for commercial use.
• I have provided contact information in the owner key.
• I have provided a preview of my website below.

Website Preview

The website served at the parent subdomain nihal-gupta.is-a.dev (registered via the merged PR #38985) is my personal portfolio / "How to work with me" page. It is currently reachable on its Northflank service URL while custom-domain verification is in progress:

Live URL: https://nihal--portfolio--nzjmwn7pzkzv.code.run

Screenshot: (paste a screenshot of the portfolio site here in the GitHub PR description — drag-and-drop the image into the textarea and GitHub will upload it)

Website Purpose

This pull request does not register a new website. It adds a temporary TXT-only record at verify-5wnv9bmiu26482gaip2ijmim.nihal-gupta.is-a.dev so that Northflank (the hosting provider for my already-approved portfolio site at nihal-gupta.is-a.dev) can verify domain ownership and issue a Let's Encrypt certificate for the custom domain.

The parent subdomain nihal-gupta.is-a.dev was approved and merged in PR #38985. That subdomain hosts a personal portfolio website (software-development related, non-commercial) describing my background as a full-stack developer.

Once Northflank's ownership check succeeds and the TLS certificate is provisioned, I will open a follow-up cleanup PR to delete this temporary verification record so it does not linger in the registry.

Hi there! 👋

You've successfully made a pull request! Here are some steps to do while waiting for a maintainer to review the pull request:

1. Check if the checks have failed or passed. You should see the status at the bottom of the pull request or a icon next to the commit ID. You can click on the 3 dots next to the "CI / Tests" check then click "View details", it will show you the logs of the tests.
2. Check if the filename, file format, and records are valid. If you don't know if it's valid, please read this part of the documentation and use a JSON validator/formatter, like jsonlint. Make sure that the file is in the domains directory and not somewhere else in the repository.
3. Please make sure that you've filled out the pull request template. It is generally not a good idea to overwrite the pull request template with something else unless you know what you are doing. Make sure to add either a publicly available preview of your website or a screenshot of it.
4. Please wait patiently. Pull requests may take between a couple hours to 3 days. All of the maintainer team are volunteers and try to review the pull requests in their spare time. If you want a chance of getting your pull request merged faster then send your pull request number once in the #pull-requests channel in our Discord server and wait patiently.
5. Please note that mentioning maintainers in pull requests without it being reviewed could lead to you getting marked as "low priority"; this also applies to pinging the maintainers in the Discord server or messaging the maintainers in private to review the pull request.

Note: if you've opened this pull request while there is a high number of other open pull requests, your wait time will be longer than usual. Please be patient!

What's next?

Just follow the steps below and you can start using your domain!

GitHub Pages

1. Navigate to your GitHub Pages repository that you want to connect with your is-a.dev domain.
2. Click on the Settings tab.
3. Click on the Pages link in the sidebar.
4. In the custom domain option, enter the domain you registered.
5. Check the Enforce HTTPS checkbox.
6. Give your domain some time (~24 hours) for the changes to propagate.
7. Enjoy your domain!

Vercel

You may have to verify the domain so that you can successfully add the domain to your Vercel website; if you have done that already, the domain should already be connected! If it hasn't, go to the "Domains" section in your project's dashboard and click on "Refresh" to see if it works. If you need to verify the domain with Vercel then please follow our Vercel guide here.

Cloudflare Pages

If you haven't done this by now, you need to add the is-a.dev domain to your Cloudflare Pages website. To do so, navigate to your settings for the website, click on "Custom domains", click on "Add a custom domain" instead of the other option as it will make you use NS records so that the domain can be on Cloudflare DNS, add the is-a.dev domain that you got and you are done!

Other hosting providers

Just make sure you have added the domain to your website. Try to see if there is a guide for your hosting provider at our documentation to see how you can configure it. It's also a good idea to see your hosting providers' documentation to see how you can add a custom domain.

Webserver (like NGINX, Caddy, Apache and etc.)

You have to add these in your webserver config by yourself. If you don't know how to add a domain to your webserver then either use a different method of hosting your website or search on a search engine on how to use the said webserver.

Need help with your domain? If you have some trouble setting up your domain, please create an issue or ask in the Discord server and we will try and help you as soon as possible!
Made a mistake in the records? Don't worry, you can create a new pull request to correct your mistakes.

Thanks for reading the message and thank you for using is-a.dev! ❤️
