Identify the owner
A domain is the address, not the website hosting itself. Confirm who owns the registration and who can manage its DNS records. Keep the registration account in the intended owner's control and use a reliable renewal contact.
Choose the route
For a new domain, review availability, registration cost and renewal terms before purchase. For an existing domain, record its registrar, current website destination and email provider. Connecting a website does not necessarily require transferring the registration.
Make a planned change
Use the exact records supplied for your confirmed setup. Review existing email and verification records before replacing anything. DNS changes can affect more than the website, so do not delete unfamiliar records merely to simplify the list.
Verify the services
Check the intended website address and secure connection after the change has taken effect. Test business email separately. If something breaks, retain the previous records and the time of the change for support; do not repeatedly switch records without understanding the result.
