New Domain purchased.
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
- Fixing images and relative urls not showing
- 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
