Developing my online shop

On 26 July 2018 (which is the Independence Day of our beloved country Maldives) I bought the domain www.naheez.mv from Dhiraagu...I only bought the domain and ordered Dhiraagu Dhivehinet (which is the department of Dhiraagu offering TLD or Top Level Domain with the extension .mv and email and webhosting provider) to point to Google...This www.naheez.mv is registered in Dhiraagu with webhosting by Google Blogger and serving and DNS provided by Cloudflare which is the website security provider.

In 2022 I registered my online shop "Naheez Shop" at the ministry of economic development. As Google no longer provides free email for business use, I registered the emails for naheez.mv at Zoho which is an Indian company, and they offer free email hosting for any internet domain but with limitations on the free plan. 

The email service of Zoho provides SPF (Sender Policy Framework), DMARC (Domian-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance), and DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) for email security and protection and I added those TXT records in Cloudflare.

Using www.mxtoolbox.com I checked these records for my emails of naheez.mv. Using naheez.mv:zmail I know that the DKIM record works at www.mxtoolbox.com and they are a provider of email testing service.

Last year 2023 I found a free webhosting service called Freehostia but they don't provide emails in the free plan...

Some weeks ago, I found another company called x10hosting which provides free email registration and webhosting service in the basic plan which is free...Both Freehostia and x10hosting are ad free...

My online shop URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the subdomain shop.naheez.mv and I had to add two NS (nameserver) records at Cloudflare to point it to x10hosting and had to add the fixed IP (Internet Protocol) of x10hosting as A records in Cloudflare...They provide free SSL/TLS (Secure Socket Layer/Transport Layer Security) certificates from Let's Encrypt...

I created two emails and SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records has been added as TXT records in Cloudflare. Using shop.naheez.mv:x in www.mxtoolbox.com the DKIM records was checked, and it works correctly...

In x10hosting I am using WordPress to develop my online shop slowly and I will install the WooCommerce plugin in WordPress to develop the online shop of mine.

I am not in a hurry...Now my domain www.naheez.mv service providers are split in different companies all providing a free plan...The domain is registered in Dhiraagu for a monthly fee of 50 MVR and I don't have to pay anything to the other companies. The website is split in Google and x10Hosting with email by Zoho and x10Hosting and serving and protection done by Cloudflare which is also the DNS and primary nameserver provider...

In late 2016 I learnt that it's very important to split webhosting and other services to different providers for security reasons and it's an advanced method to do so.

Allah Akbar...Allah is great...
