Deployment & DNS — somoskosmos.com

This project is configured for somoskosmos.com. Use this guide to connect your domain from Namecheap to your hosting (Netlify or Vercel).

1. Deploy the site

  • Netlify: Connect the Git repo (e.g. GitHub), set build command npm run build, publish directory dist. Netlify will give you a URL like random-name.netlify.app.
  • Vercel: Import the repo, keep default build/publish (Vite → dist). You’ll get something like project.vercel.app.

2. Add the custom domain in the host

  • Netlify: Site settings → Domain management → Add custom domain → enter somoskosmos.com (and optionally www.somoskosmos.com).
  • Vercel: Project → Settings → Domains → Add somoskosmos.com (and optionally www.somoskosmos.com).

The host will show the DNS records you need (see below).

3. Namecheap DNS

In Namecheap: Domain List → select somoskosmos.com → Manage → Advanced DNS.

Option A: Netlify (recommended)

Type Host Value TTL
A @ 75.2.60.5 Automatic
CNAME www random-name.netlify.app Automatic
  • Replace random-name.netlify.app with your real Netlify subdomain.
  • For root (somoskosmos.com) Netlify uses a single A record; the IP above is Netlify’s load balancer (confirm in Netlify’s “Set up Netlify DNS” / “Verify DNS configuration”).

Option B: Vercel

Type Host Value TTL
A @ 76.76.21.21 Automatic
CNAME www cname.vercel-dns.com Automatic
  • Vercel may show different targets; use the values shown in the Vercel Domains panel for somoskosmos.com and www.somoskosmos.com.

Redirect www → root (optional)

If you use www and want everyone on the non-www domain:

  • Netlify: Domain settings → add somoskosmos.com as primary, enable “Redirect www to non-www” (or the opposite if you prefer www).
  • Vercel: In Domains, set the primary domain and enable redirect from the other (e.g. www → apex).

4. SSL

  • Netlify and Vercel issue free SSL (Let’s Encrypt) once DNS is pointing to them. It can take a few minutes to a few hours.
  • In Namecheap, leave SSL as “Default” or “Full” if you have that option; the host handles the certificate.

5. After DNS propagates

  1. Open https://somoskosmos.com and https://www.somoskosmos.com (if configured).
  2. Confirm https://somoskosmos.com/sitemap.xml and https://somoskosmos.com/robots.txt load.
  3. Add favicon.ico and og-image.png (e.g. 1200×630) to public/ so the favicon and social previews use the Kosmos branding.
