Domain Registration & Management

  • All domains should be registered with the same registrar for centralized management
  • Use strong account security (2FA, unique passwords)
  • Configure auto-renewal to prevent accidental expiration
  • Implement DNSSEC for all domains
  • Set extended expiration periods (5+ years) for critical domains

SSL Certificates

  • Wildcard certificate for *.youseddit.com
  • Individual certificates for high-security services

DNS Configuration Best Practices

  • Use redundant DNS providers
  • Implement DNS monitoring with alerts
  • Maintain DNS documentation with all records
  • Use short TTLs during migrations, longer TTLs (3600+) for stability

This reference should be updated whenever new domains or email addresses are added to the system.
