This site redirects to my other sites and is built using this repo.

What I learned

Being new to this, I initially struggled setting up this site so that it works as required. I was trying to setup a site which redirects to my other sites and uses secure https protocol. I did not have any hosting server so I could not install my SSL certificate. I did setup 301 redirects which worked pretty well, but they were not up to the mark. I finally configured the server on Netlify, and now it works pretty well.

Here's what I learned in the process:

• Learned about and configured DNS settings, specifically CNAME, ALIAS, A, AAAA and Redirect, for my custom domain.
• Issued and setup an SSL certificate. (CSR, DCV)
• Learned about diferent types of redirects, viz. 301, 302, 404 and 200.
• Migrated my nameservers to and setup Netlify via this repo.
• Learned about and configured _redirects file on Netlify server.
• Learned about and setup splat parameter in _redirects. It was the thing that I was searching for.
