Some guidance that might be relevant: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/use-your-govuk-domain-name?step-by-step-nav=5a9309a3-9a80-4faa-b24f-1797023e897f#terms-of-use-for-your-govuk-domain-name https://www.gov.uk/guidance/use-your-govuk-domain-name?step-...
- jrochkind1 5y agoDoesn't seem to rule out using a .gov.uk domain name for something hosted on netlify. I agree it looks cheesy and makes me wonder if it's really official government documetnation, without a .gov.uk hostname (and SSL cert, naturally).
- swyx 5y agoformer netlify employee here. all sites on netlify have a netlify subdomain, that doesnt go away when you add a custom domain. its just useful for deploy previews and stuff, content is basically the same. nothing untoward here
- jrochkind1 5y agoI think we're misunderstanding each other. I'd expect an official UK government site hosted on netlify to have a custom .gov.uk domain and to use that to refer to the site. Same as most large commercial enterprises probably do, right? Instead of using the netlify subdomain as the public host. Am I misunderstanding something?
