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 [https://frontyardprojects.slack.com/archives/C4UL66L1Z/p1669867578092039 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] Initiate Transfer the DNS records from the old domain transfer, minus the unused Mailgun records.* : Using [ https://dnschecker.org/all-dns-records-of-domain.php?query=frontyardprojects.org&rtype=ALL&dns=google dnschecker.org] copy over and a screenshot of the existing DNS for old records, the old email address etcones to copy are: Type Host Value A * 185.199.108.153 A @ 185.199.109.153 MX @ 10 mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com A @ 185.199.110.153 A @ 185.199.111.153 A @ 185.199.108.153 A lib 167.71.210.28 A library 128.199.110.116 A wiki 46.165.217.151 CNAME www frontyardprojects.github.io. A www.wiki 46.165. 217.151</nowiki> * [x] Initiate the domain transfer* [ x] Fill in new domain owner details in Namecheap.* [x] Check for any public records of the old info@ email address and remove them.* [X] Confirm completed domain transfer and everything is still working. * It appears that the library related domains that were Ben's projects don't run anymore, so those could likely be removed from the DNS records in the future.
