Will play in the demo app for a while, then eventually load the new CMS on top. Been a while since using Drupal. Hoping for the ideal UXs for both admin & users.

Porkbun has been handy to use as a new registrar, especially the External Domain feature to set up DNS before transfer to eliminate any downtime or anomalies. Porkbun was recommended here on Micro.blog.
