09 It goes live, on its own
The moment the domain lands with us, four things happen without anybody pressing anything. This is the part that normally means a hosting company, a support ticket and an afternoon of settings nobody enjoys.

under a minute Your domain is pointed at it. The site stops answering on asonehosting.com and starts answering on your own name — and so does every address underneath it.
about a minute The padlock is switched on. A security certificate is issued and installed, so visitors see the padlock instead of a warning — and it renews itself from then on.
on completion We email you. One message saying it's live. You can close the tab; the email will find you.
