You may find DNSimple to help with some of this. I highly recommend it for domain registration, DNS management, certificates, and such. It was founded by Ruby community member Anthony Eden as an alternative to the large (awful) services like GoDaddy. They have one click configuration for common setups, including Heroku, Google Apps, etc. The interface is modern and simple. There is an API if you need to programmatically do things with your domain. Dealing with certificates is, while not one-click, much easier than some of the alternatives.
If you do signup, consider using my referral code https://dnsimple.com/r/87cd3b4626ec54 <https://dnsimple.com/r/87cd3b4626ec54> to do so. But I would heartily recommend them without said code… AB > On Aug 8, 2016, at 8:37 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > Hi SD Ruby, > > This is slightly off topic, but I can imagine some of you might have faced > this situation.
