| Getting a new domain is fun and all, but it can take some time to setup. A common problem is the website will show up as either nothing, or some kind of placeholder page. | ||

likely is not needed. Can also be possible.

I found a few grammatical things, but the technical stuff all sounded right from what I know. Switching between 👍 |

| These services are great, but they often give you a relatively non-personal URL, something like `your-name.service.com`. That works fine enough for testing, but running a serious business (such as renting donkeys) needs a professional and trustable domain name. | ||

| Sometimes, services will offer to sell you a domain up front. Obviously, domain experts like us don't need that kind of handholding. We want to be in control of our domains! What if we decide to switch services? Or have subdomains that point to other services? For me personally, this "solution" isn't flexible enough. |

Suggestion: change "solution" by alternative (no quotes).

This covers the scenario where before a domain is setup, it often points to some placeholder page for the DNS host.

These are the rest of the common scenarios. The list now includes:
Some are new, some have been edited a bit. I obviously can't cover every possible permutation of even these few scenarios, but I'm hoping that this covers a wide range of common questions and situations.
