I'm in a situation where an organization has a #ReadTheDocs website registered as `<project>.io` (via #NameCheap). Note that no one in this organization are experts or even practitioners of web publishing. People are realizing that the documentation site is not the best landing page and want to do two things:
1. move the documentation site to `docs.<project>.io`
2. set `<project>.io` to host the landing page built on #GitHub with links out to `<project>.io`
The question is: how the heck does one go about doing this without borking everything? It's clear that external links to the documentation would need to change, but in the meantime, I can see the following:
1. register `docs.<project>.io` and add that to the domains in #ReadTheDocs
2. set `<project>.io` as the CNAME for the GitHub site
3. add JavaScript to the 404 page that detects if the link is attempting to point to the documentation site and provide the correct redirect.
Since I don't own a tesla and in the process of removing as much as possible all #American products from my life, #Namecheap is next. By the end of the month all domains and hosting will be in #Portugal #Europe.

THIS is why I find #Azure, #aws, #GCP et. al so frustrating and similarly neglective as #NameCheap, #GDaddy and #CloudFlare, cuz evhen the cheapest 08/15 #VPS & #Webhoster I know will take #AbuseReports serious and handle them accordingly, whereas one may have to block entire IP blocks if not complete ASNs to shield from ongoing attacks!
So I've just managed to move all my manual domain configuration in #namecheap into Terraform / OpenTofu.
Needed to write an exporter script, which requires the Namecheap API be enabled (Settings -> Tools -> API)
And then here's the tool I used to export to Terraform:

I'm totally not fully maintaining this, but if it helps someone, fantastic.
Hello #Fediverse, I need some help!
I am moving a website from GitHub Pages to #Netlify . The domain is register via #Namecheap, and when I was looking to the documentation, it isn't clear to me how to set up the DNS (I don't want to transfer the domain to Netlify).
Any tips or instruction pages that I can use will be very much appreciated!

Thank you, #Namecheap, for removing another #disinformation page.
