Logistics, logistics and more logistics... you cannot skip or jump the line. While I lay down the infrastructure for the Real Time Stats on the Hive blockchain project, I have moved and bought a domain for it. Can you guess it? You were right, it is indeed realtimehive.com. I was lucky enough to buy a ".com" domain, which we know it is the prime domain extension out there. And with this step done, I can move to buy some hosting services where I can deploy the application.
How did I get my hands on this sweet domain? Well, here are the steps that I went through to get it.
- Go to GoDaddy website.
- Search for the availability of the desired domain.
- Create/account or Login to GoDaddy.
- Add to cart the selected available domain.
- Make sure you get your best deal for your domain, either through a promotion run by GoDaddy itself or from third party sites which might offer coupons (specific codes) that you can use during the purchase order.
- Buy it!
I ended up buying the domain for 1 Year at the price of 14.47 Euro or 16.05 USD. I have opted in for the minimum period because I had several attempts at launching a project on the Hive blockchain and in the ended I didn't execute on them. Now I already have a MVP - Minimum Viable Product which can be even launched, so I am more confident with having this project seeing the light of day.
Ensuring the infrastructure and all the third parties required to run an app is a mandatory step to get things going. I am moving one step at a time with that and I hope to get it running soon. That's it for today, cheer everyone!
