Separate Website and Email Responsibility

Many businesses use one provider for hosting and another for email, such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. When you change hosts, you rarely want to disrupt your email setup.

Key DNS Records to Handle Carefully

• MX records: Control where email is delivered.
• TXT records: SPF, DKIM and verification records.
• CNAME or A records: For webmail or email portals.

Safe Migration Process

Before changing nameservers or A records for your website, document all existing email related DNS entries. Recreate them exactly at your new DNS host so email continues uninterrupted while the website moves.
