rmarinsky.com.ua stopped pretending to be an abandoned hosting stub

The product hub for Diduny, BrowserCat, Papuga, and the rest of the tool shelf now runs on GitHub Pages with valid HTTPS and a real release-update channel.

rmarinsky.com.ua stopped pretending to be an abandoned hosting stub

What was annoying

The annoying part was basic: the site existed, but HTTPS complained, GitHub Pages served the wrong certificate, and random subdomains still fell back to the old hosting account. Not exactly the first impression a product page should make.

What changed

I cleaned up DNS, added the GitHub Pages A and AAAA records, removed the wildcard, added the GitHub verification TXT record, waited for the certificate, and kicked Pages deployment again.

What is better now

HTTP now redirects to HTTPS, the certificate covers rmarinsky.com.ua and www, and the site is ready to carry actual release stories for the Mac apps.

  • Apex domain points to GitHub Pages.
  • www points to rmarinsky.github.io.
  • Old-hosting wildcard is gone.
  • GitHub Pages domain verification is green.
  • HTTPS enforcement is enabled after a fresh deploy.
