Today's Launch - Comber Hall
Good morning Jorge,
As we prepare to complete the launch of your Comber Hall website this morning (10:00 am), we ask that you please refrain from logging into the website and making any changes until you receive an email from us letting you know that your website is launched. This way, nothing will be overwritten or go unsaved as we change URLs and add SSL certificates.
Please let us know if you have any questions, otherwise, someone from our team will reach out to you this afternoon.

Hi Jorge,
While attempting to finalize the launch, we ran into a small issue. Although comberhall.com shows the new website, it seems as though the domain is not pointing directly to our server.
This may require you to change your nameservers to the default nameservers or to complete a domain validation.
In order to avoid issues later on down the road, would you be willing to provide us with the domain login information or schedule a screen share (preferred) tomorrow with our developer so he can make sure all steps of the launch process are complete?
Thank you,
Veronica Alvarado

Thanks for the heads up, Veronica. Luis actually has the access to the domain. Are there any specific instructions for how that should be configured?

Good morning Jorge,
I've cc'd Luis in since he has access to the domain.
Since we need the website to point to our IP address directly and be set up for the SSL certification, you will need to do the following:
Change Nameservers to GoDaddy's Default
https://www.godaddy.com/help/change-nameservers-for-my-domains-664
Screenshot All Records
Some domain owners will wipe all records when the A record changes, so it is best practice to have a screenshot or text backup.
Create A record '@' that points to 104.156.48.29
Create a CNAME record "*" (asterisk) with a value of "@"
Create a CNAME record "www" of "@"
Verify Domain Ownership (for SSL certification)

Hello Jorge and Luis,
This is Sam Pohlman, the web dev who has been working on Comber Hall.
After reviewing the site after your changes, I found that the domain does not need validation anymore. Because the site is now pointing to our server we were able to assign an SSL certificate to your domain without the need for validation.
The only remaining change is that you will need to delete the A records with the value '184.168.131.241' (this is your previous server).
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Veronica:
Just going through some pending items here and wasn’t sure if we were finally able to launch the ComberHall site. I think we did everything we could on our end, but if anything is still pending, we can go ahead and set up a screen share so you can see inside the account and try to get it resolved.

Good morning Jorge,
In order to finalize the launch of the Comber Hall website.
Please go into your DNS records (GoDaddy) for http://comberhall.com/ and delete the A records with the value '184.168.131.241' (this is your previous server).
After that, we will be good to go!
Let me know if you have any other questions.

OK – should be good to go now. We were unable to delete it originally, but I removed the auto-forwarding that we had temporarily set up and it removed the old A record with it. Only A record is now 104.156.48.29

Thanks again for your good work, Veronica. Just got the message from Mary that the site has gone (officially) live, so looks like we’re good to go there.
Do you want to go ahead and launch the Concerts site, as well, so that’s not left out there pending? There’s nothing on the site at the moment, but it’s not actively linked anywhere on the main webpage either, so no was is going to accidentally stumble onto it unless they are REALLY, REALLY looking for info about the Concert Series lol

Hello Jorge,
Yes, let's go ahead and launch the Concerts site as well. Are you or Luis the domain owner for this one as well?
If so, we can proceed with the launch either today or tomorrow (between 9am-1pm).
Just let me know and I can re-send the update for the DNS settings, if needed.

We own LFconcerts.org - can we launch it on that domain? If DNS settings are the same as the other sites, I can follow those steps.

Correct, they are the same steps.
I've let the developer know that you will be launching today at the lfconcerts.org domain.
I will be out for the remainder of the day, but have cc'd my coworker Cody if you need any additional assistance in the launch.
