# Deployment and Domain Checklist

## Goal

Make the purchased domain open a public page from this repository, even while
the real product content is still undecided.

## Recommended Setup

1. Deploy this repository to a dedicated Vercel project.
2. Add the purchased domain to that Vercel project.
3. Configure DNS at the domain registrar using the records Vercel asks for.
4. Verify both the apex domain and `www` behavior.

## Vercel CLI Flow

From this project directory:

```powershell
npx.cmd vercel --prod
```

If the project has not been linked before, Vercel will ask which account/team
and project name to use. A clear project name is:

```text
web-sale-aibuilderhub
```

After deployment, add the domain:

```powershell
npx.cmd vercel domains add your-domain.com
```

For this project, the purchased domain is:

```text
aibuilderhub.store
```

## DNS Records

The current Namecheap Host Records are:

```text
A      @      76.76.21.21
A      www    76.76.21.21
```

These records point both the apex domain and the `www` subdomain to Vercel.
DNS can take a few minutes to several hours to propagate.

## Canonical Choice

The primary public version is:

```text
https://aibuilderhub.store
```

`https://www.aibuilderhub.store` redirects to the apex domain through
`vercel.json`.
