We currently own the scrc.uk domain, but we are only using it for Zulip - at https://zulip.scrc.uk. We also have a placeholder website at https://www.gla.ac.uk/scrc which is not linked to anything. We need to redirect https://scrc.uk and https://www.scrc.uk to https://www.gla.ac.uk/scrc while we work out how things should actually be set up, and then link this organisation to that site.

I just came across this issue. For the moment I've setup the following redirects:

https://scrc.uk and https://www.scrc.uk give SSL warnings in most browsers - the redirects are provided (for free) by the domain name registrar and they don't have certificates for scrc.uk & www.scrc.uk.

As Alys mentioned, using GitHub pages might be a good way to go for a website. We should be able to setup https://scrc.uk and https://www.scrc.uk to point to GitHub pages with SSL setup correctly.

Thanks @alahiff.

What's the remaining action needed on this issue now - editing that web page to link to this Github org? Not sure who the person who can do that is @richardreeve...

I could easily just redirect directly to https://github.com/ScottishCovidResponse, however that would have the same SSL issue. Please let me know if I should do that.

It would be preferable to set up a web page using GitHub Pages, as GitHub supports custom domains and https for those.

We are thinking that https://github.scrc.uk -> https://github.com/ScottishCovidResponse and we will need a new data.scrc.uk soon to hold the data management database soon, but that's nothing we need today I guess.

I don't know what the best solution is for https - http://scrc.uk and http://www.scrc.uk works fine as a redirect though to Glasgow, so I think it's fine so long as we're careful... is that right?

I've now setup http://github.scrc.uk -> https://github.com/ScottishCovidResponse

I'll try to think of some way to get around the SSL issue.
