Updates to RydersWorld including hosting, deployment, and DNS configuration.
RydersWorld continued to evolve beyond just a local project. The application is hosted as a standalone Rails app and made publicly accessible at rydersworld.getawd.com using DNS configuration and subdomain routing. Rather than spinning up a completely separate domain, the project lives cleanly under the main getawd.com namespace. This setup keeps infrastructure simple while still treating RydersWorld as its own product. It was a practical exercise in DNS management, environment separation, and deploying a Rails app that real people actually use.
