Finished uploading and releasing my personal website

I have launched and released my personal website www.guestworm.com this Friday midnight, the first Friday of this new year 2019...

I began work in developing my site on Friday 26 October 2018, something I planned for October 2018, after transferring the domain to IBM® Cloud SoftLayer™ but still the site is hosted in Google® Cloud App Engine™ and the site is served by Cloudflare®...

This is my first mobile-friendly and responsive site built using Mobirise® 4 with Bootstrap®.

I also updated my main blog www.naheez.com after adding Google® reCAPTCHA v 3 (which I have also added to my personal website) security and Google Maps® location of mine (is also added to my website)...

The open source codes of my website and images/photo are also released in GitHub® ( https://github.com/naheez )...

Made a donation to Cloudflare®s Donate to Girls Who Code

I just now donated 2 US $ to Cloudflare®s Donate to Girls Who Code initiative...I love Cloudflare® which I came to know and use in late 2016...

Cloudflare® is the CDN (Content Delivery Network) and DNS (Domain Name System) provider of all my domains and websites...

Cloudflare® provides the CDN for more than 10 million domains and is soon going to launch their own domain registration service and I have been moved from Early Access (domain registration) Wave 7 to Wave 5 after I had donated the 2 US $ to Donate to Girls Who Code and also sharing in twitter about that...

It's better to separate domain registrar and website hosting and DNS/CDN provider when we use websites for personal or business use...It's a method of advanced hosting...

I have been separating the domain registrar and website since late 2016...For example my domain naheez.mv is registered in Dhiraagu but blog website is hosted in Google® and DNS/CDN is provided by Cloudflare®. With the exception of naheez.com and nahyz.com domains I own, the domain registrar and website hosting is separate...The domains naheez.com and nahyz.com are registered in Google Domains™ and blog site is provided by Google Blogger™ but still DNS/CDN is provided by Cloudflare®...The other two domains guestworm.com and thawfeeg.com is registered in IBM®, hosted in Google Cloud Platform™ and Google Blogger™ respectively and DNS/CDN provided by Cloudflare®.

Cloudflare® is a very powerful CDN provider with proxy servers standing in front of the websites they server to confront and challenge any person with a bad IP (Internet Protocol) reputation attacking a website they serve.

Cloudflare® has protected and mitigated DDoS/DoS (Distributed Denial of Service/Denial of Service) attacks for many customers.

Completed transferring my website domain to IBM®

Yesterday, I have already finished transferring my personal website domain guestworm.com to IBM®.

Now IBM® is the registrar of my domain guestworm.com, Google®s powerful Cloud Computing Platform will provide the hosting of my website and Google®s world class G Suite™ will provide the emails and many other services, and the exceptional services of Cloudflare® will provide the DNS (Domain Name System) management and CDN (Content Delivery Network).

I had set the TTL (Time To Live) to "Automatic" in Cloudflare® when I transferred my domain guestworm.com and there was no interruption or down time to my personal website www.guestworm.com when it was transferred to IBM® Cloud Softlayer™.

DS (Delegation Signer) / DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) has also been enabled for my domain guestworm.com by Cloudflare® because the previous registrar Google Domains™ supports DS records at registry level.

I have now enlisted three U.S. technology companies, IBM®, Google®, and Cloudflare® to serve my personal website www.guestworm.com.

This completes what I have planned to accomplish for this month of October 2018. There were many other tasks I had in my mind but I was not able to complete them because I and all my friends were in a financial crisis. I will do those things very slowly some other time when they all have recovered from their financial problems.

Transferred my personal website domain to IBM®

Today is the blessed Friday...To fulfill my plans for this month of October 2018, I late this afternoon transferred my domain guestworm.com to IBM® Cloud from Google Domains™.

But I intend to keep my web hosting (Google Cloud™) and G Suite™ with Google® and also I intend to keep my domains naheez.com and nahyz.com with Google®.

Now I will have access to IBM®'s Cloud computing services including web hosting and many apps...

The DNS and security provider will be still Cloudflare® and there won't be any interruption while my domain guestworm.com is transferred from Google Domains™ to IBM® Cloud as I have copied the same DNS records: A,AAAA,MX,CNAME,SPF,TXT, and DKIM from Cloudflare® to IBM™ Cloud and which all point to Google™ and is provided by Google®.

I did the DNS setup in IBM® Cloud after setting the zone IP (Internet Protocol) to that of Cloudflare®'s Name Server (NS) after pinging Cloudflare® from a command prompt of my computer.

Now I have two domains (guestworm.com and thawfeeg.com) registered in IBM®, two domains registered in Google® (naheez.com and nahyz.com) and 1 domain registered in Dhiraagu (naheez.mv) of my beloved country Maldives.

I am learning technology things on my own and I hope very much that I am not violating the terms of service by IBM® and Google®.
