Your domain name resolves fine for me, and it’s true you’ll need to set up https for it to work in a browser, but even with curl I get a timeout. Maybe you stopped running httpd?

The hosts is mostly so your computer can connect out to other websites, but doesn’t matter for being able to connect to something you’re serving.

Instead of httpd, maybe try out Caddy. It makes https pretty simple and free once you have a working Caddyfile.

Before choosing your insurance provider, google the company and “combined ratio”. Anything over 100 and they are paying out more than they are making. Investors want to see a combined ratio in the mid 90s, so if you are not an investor maybe you want the ones with high CR? Or they might be wasting it I guess, but either way less savvy I suppose.
