# chro.in

Page to test hostinger service without SSL and check if adding 3rd party SLL certificate is possible.

#### Steps to direct chro.in to github pages (HTTP)

- Host gh page @ https://inf800.github.io/chro.in
- Create `CNAME` file with `www.chro.in`. (This will redirect all browsers to www.chro.in when https://inf800.github.io/chro.in is given in URL field)
- Add the following in DNS: (Same can be done for other providers like Godaddy etc.)
| Type | Name | Content | TTL |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|A|@|185.199.108.153|14400|
|A|@|185.199.109.153|14400|
|A|@|185.199.110.153|14400|
|A|@|185.199.111.153|14400|

Now, chro.in will contain the contents deployed at https://inf800.github.io/chro.in.
