Developing my online shop

I think I can't post this in Facebook® because of Facebook®'s security systems might block this post, so I will write this blog entry in this main blog of mine.

Last year 2022, Google® finally stopped offering their free legacy Google® Workspace™ accounts for business use and I had to switch it back to only personal use. This includes my domains guestworm.com, naheez.com, nahyz.com , thawfeeg.com , and naheezthawfeeg.com . I removed my Dhiraagu registered domain naheez.mv from my Google® Workspace™ ( formerly called Google® G Suite™ and Google® Apps free ) and decided to use it for my online business.

My domain naheez.mv was registered in 26 July 2018 in Dhiraagu to celebrate the Independence Day of the Maldives on my own. It only costed 250 MVR registration and processing fee and 50 MVR per month for hosting fee. With GST (Goods and Service Tax) included it's now 54 MVR per month.

I needed web hosting for my business so I bought the cheapest web hosting package offered by Dhiraagu and more importantly I need a business email with domain @naheez.mv . But when I tried to develop my business web site I encountered lots of severe errors and problems in Dhiraagu web hosting. Many years ago in 2012 I developed a website for a friend of mine and during that time Dhiraagu web hosting was very smooth and easy. I never encountered any problems during that time. 

I choose Linux® web hosting as I am more familiar with developing websites in the Linux® web hosting server environment/operating system.

So since September 2022 I attempted to develop a small online web site in Dhiraagu web hosting and finally gave up.

Therefore I searched the internet for a free and also ad free web hosting company and found www.freehostia.com which is a UK based company offering free web hosting without advertisements and with many free features including PrestaShop™ support which is the CMS (Content Management System) for the online shop I attempted to develop in Dhiraagu web hosting. I am still developing it but these days I am resting at home most of the time.

I use Cloudflare® for my DNS and CDN (Content Delivery Network) and the nameservers of my domain naheez.mv  is in Cloudflare®.

Now comes the most interesting part of this blog entry.

My domain is registered in Dhiraagu, served by Cloudflare®, with two websites hosted in different companies and email provided by another company. The subdomain shop.naheez.mv website is hosted in www.freehostia.com in the United Kingdom, the main domain www.naheez.mv website is hosted in Google® Blogger™, the emails are hosted in www.zoho.com which is an Indian company based in Chennai, India...I have used four different companies to power up my domain naheez.mv so that the security is high and when one get's down or hacked, the others will still be online with my control...T

To seperate the subdomain shop.naheez.mv from naheez.mv I had to add two NS records in the DNS settings in Cloudflare and point it to www.freehostia.com nameservers and one addtional A record pointing that too to www.freehostia.com ...

The SSL/TLS certificate is provided by Google for free and for both the TLD (Top Level Domain) naheez.mv and subdomain shop.naheez.mv and there might still be some errors when visting to these links...

Allah Akbar...Allah is great

G Suite™ Free Legacy Edition

Google G Suite™ Free Legacy Edition is the free version of G Suite™ only available for those who signed up before 6 December 2012 for Google Apps™ for work free edition...I registered my domain guestworm.com in it before that time and I had tested my email naheez@guestworm.com(dont'spam) on 28 June 2012...

Since yesterday afternoon I have been doing this in my desktop computer...I wanted to move naheez@naheez.mv(don't spam please) and naheez@nahyz.com(don't spam please) emails to G Suite™ free edition which I use for my domain guestworm.com. Zoho® is excellent but as I use many emails I found that it would be very inconvenient for me to change web addresses each time I check emails of domains I own..

So I added my domain nahyz.com and naheez.mv to G Suite™ as aliases of guestworm.com and verified my ownership by adding the TXT records to Cloudflare® DNS settings and making them to Automatic...

The email naheez@nahyz.com was moved to my G Suite™ free version very quickly but I had to wait till now this morning for my email naheez@naheez.mv to be moved to my G Suite™ free edition...I closed my accounts at Zoho® and I thank them for their free world class services...

I added the two emails to my naheez@guestworm.com GMail™ as non alias accounts and verified them...I added SPF and the generated DKIM to both my emails to Cloudflare® DNS...

I have tested both emails by sending/receiving mails and as usual I praise Allah with the words Allah Akbar...Allah is great...
