Hosting and DNS

Hosting, DNS, and infrastructure support without the confusion.

A website is more than the visible pages. Hosting, DNS, domains, SSL, CDN, email records, SMTP, caching, redirects, and security rules all decide whether the site actually works.

Small changes can break big systems

DNS and hosting changes need to be handled carefully.

One wrong record can affect the website, email, checkout, analytics, or integrations.

We review what exists, what depends on it, and what needs to stay untouched before making changes.

How we approach it

Make infrastructure changes with a plan.

We treat hosting and DNS carefully because small changes can have wide impact. Before changing records, we review the existing setup and dependencies.

Then we make the changes cleanly and verify the result.

01

Review domains, DNS records, hosting, SSL, Cloudflare, redirects, and email records.

02

Define what should change, what should remain, and what depends on each record.

03

Implement carefully, verify behavior, and document what changed.

Service FAQ

Questions before hiring a hosting and DNS developer.

Can you manage DNS changes?

Yes. We can help configure DNS records, domain settings, redirects, and related infrastructure.

Do you work with Cloudflare?

Yes. We can configure Cloudflare for DNS, CDN, caching, SSL, security, and performance.

Can you help with email DNS records?

Yes. We can help with SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX records, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and related email DNS configuration.

Can you fix SMTP issues?

Yes. We can help configure or troubleshoot SMTP and transactional email systems.

Can you work with common hosts?

Yes. We can work with hosts like WP Engine, Kinsta, Rocket.net, GoDaddy, Hostinger, SiteGround, DigitalOcean, Cloudways, and similar platforms.

Can you move our site to a new host without downtime?

In most cases, yes. The site is copied and tested on the new host first, then DNS is switched with short TTLs so the change takes effect quickly.

Can you fix our business email going to spam?

Usually. That is often a missing or wrong SPF, DKIM, or DMARC record, which Don can check and correct at your DNS provider.

Do you set up Cloudflare?

Yes, including DNS, SSL, caching rules, and firewall settings that protect the site without blocking real visitors or search engines.

Who should own the domain and hosting accounts?

You should. Don helps make sure the domain, hosting, and DNS accounts are in your business’s name with your own login.

Pricing

Small fixes start at $200.

Quick fixes are usually billed hourly, and clearly scoped projects can be a fixed price. Either way, you get a plain-English estimate of what is wrong, what it takes, and how long it should take before any work starts.

There is no retainer, setup fee, or long-term contract. Many clients start with a one-hour fix and keep Don on for ongoing work.
