# Domain Strategy Decide how domains, subdomains, and DNS work across a portfolio. Stack-agnostic. Works for one site or one hundred. --- ## When to use - Setting up DNS for a new site (apex vs www, primary vs aliases) - Choosing or switching registrars - Planning redirects across multiple domains (parked, retired, consolidated) - Deciding subdomain vs subfolder vs separate domain for a new product line - Consolidating multiple sites into one - Splitting one site into multiple - Setting up DNS for email, security records, third-party services ## When NOT to use - Migrating content between platforms with URL changes (use `content-migration`) - Email authentication setup specifically (use `email-deliverability`) - Security headers or HTTPS config (use `security-baseline`) - Internationalization domain choices (use `internationalization`) --- ## Required inputs - Current domain inventory (every domain you own or operate) - Status of each (live, parked, redirected, retired) - Strategic role of each (primary brand, sub-brand, defensive registration, campaign) - Current DNS provider and registrar for each - Email and third-party service dependencies --- ## The framework: 5 decisions Ever

How do I install it?

Where does this skill come from?
From rampstackco/claude-skills, a repository with 515 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
