As a reader of the "Domain Recipes" page I would like to have more clarity as to which tlds are ok for recipe 1 in order to have 0 doubt on whether I can buy a domain on Route 53 and get started.
In more details
As I was following the quick start guide and went through the domain recipes, in particular recipe 1, I found the documentation text to be just a tiny bit unclear on the fact that ".com" and ".link" are placeholders, and can be replaced by other top-level domains (tld), say ".io" or ".co", and since this step costs money, it could/should be improved.
Small hints that overall created my doubt:
".link" is a very specific tld and is not necessarily a short one for what is supposed to be a short link
There is a bit on second-level domains and their specificity
Nowhere is it explicitly said that ".com" and ".link" are placeholders
I eventually went forward and can clarify that it is indeed perfectly ok to have a ".co" instead of ".com" for instance, while using Recipe 1.
It was hard to guess what the short-link link does exactly. Again, the ".link" example threw me off track for a sec since it's not that short and actually longer in the example ("myhub.com" vs "myhub.link"). An illustration (screenshot), and/or a reference to the Mozilla example could be helpful ("hubs.mozilla.com" vs "hub.link")
Someone on discord warning me that which tld to chose is also important for email server spam filters. In particular that ".space" was an issue for them
There are leftovers from drafts/todo in the doc? For instance
While following Recipe 1 it was not clear when I should instantiate on a subdomain
I would be happy to submit a quick PR if someone doubles-check my language prior to it since I am not a native English speaker.
Let me know what I can clarify, in the meantime, my domains got approved, the transfer lock got disabled and my stack got successfully deployed 🎉 😄
