Transfer frontyardprojects.org domain name to an account owned by frontyard's email address

Frontyard's domain name, frontyardprojects.org.au, is currently registered with one of the founders and former janitors. It's time to renew it and seems like a good time to move it to a new domain hosting account owned by the main frontyard email address.

The background to this and discussion has been happening in the Frontyard Slack.

Steps

• [x] Set up a new domain registrar account with frontyardprojects.org.au , which Name Cheap as they're pretty solid and reliable and that's what Luke is most familiar with.
• [x] Save the account credentials, including 2FA, to the Janitor's password manager.
• [x] Transfer the DNS records from the old domain, minus the unused Mailgun records.

  Using dnschecker.org and a screenshot of the old records, the ones to copy are:

Type  Host        Value
