Recently I just purchased new domain "sarangwandile.xyz" from godaddy. but something didint go well. As soon i purchased it it went into black list of Spam Eating Monkey

SEM-FRESH — Domains registered in the last 5 days
SEM-FRESH10 — Domains registered in the last 10 days
SEM-FRESH15 — Domains registered in the last 15 days
SEM-FRESH30 — Domains registered in the last 30 days

And I was panick as It was rufusing to load my github pages static website (which would be this one)

I create hugo based personal website just to test this domain. And thought I would stick to it for at least one year. but because of this panick I was angry onto godaddy for what deemed for me to be **bad service** but then one friend told me to use cloudflare nameservers and I did.

and site is visible but still I can only see it with using vpn.

I need to do something regarding blacklisting.

and hugo site also not properly working and not showing images and another links at this point.

unto it.

bye.

Update:

The Images not loading issue was because of hugo `baseUrl` configuration.
This varialbe if set to domain or custom link it resolves the links relative to that url.

So if I leave it empty basUrl = "" and ran with hugo server command it automatically assumes localhost:1313 for base url.

but if set to another url like example.com it try it use it. but my static site wasnt deployed using hugo framework from cloudflare I just build hugo site on windows and push it to github repo and cloudflare pages will statically serve the pages in "/public" folder.

So upon changin baseUrl to "/" just works and fixed the issue.

So ig now I have one less issue to fix.

Another Update as on 08/12/2024

It turns out these blacklist will automatically clear my domain after 5 days

Fortunately it seems to fixed itself and now I dont have to wait for 5 days and I can load my website without vpn now.

Todo

• [x] Fixing images and relative urls not showing
• [x] Removing domain from blacklisting

Notes for self

When building site with hugo always use with these flags if you dont want to regret later.

hugo server --baseURL https://example.org/ --appendPort=false 

additionally you can also add baseUrl="https://example.org" in your hugo.yaml
