Changes proposed in this Pull Request
In order to improve the user experience when buying domains and mappings, domain mapping instructions were updated in #50668. This PR updates the Thank You page, which is shown after a user buys a domain mapping, to reflect the same instructions that were changed in #50668.
Depending on the type of site the mapping was bought for – root domain or sub domain, for a simple or AT site – there should be one recommended setup (usually setting name servers) and one or two alternative, more advanced, options, usually setting A or CNAME records.
Testing instructions
Both simple and atomic sites should be tested, as well as root domain mappings and subdomain mappings.
- In Calypso, go to Upgrades > Domains > Add a domain to this site
- Select “Use a domain I own”
- “Map your domain”
- Insert a root domain or subdomain
- Buy that domain mapping for your site
- The “Thank you” page with further instructions to setup domain mapping will be shown.
Root domain mappings instructions differ if the site is simple or atomic.
- For simple sites: The recommended setup should be to set NS records pointing to our name servers, and the advanced setup should show the default IP addresses (*.24 and *.25) to be set as A records
- For AT sites: The recommended setup should be to set NS records pointing to our name servers, and the advanced setup should show the AT site’s IP addresses to be set as A records
Subdomain mappings should show the following instructions: The recommended setup should be to set CNAME or NS records pointing to our name servers, and no advanced setup should be shown
