Managed DNS

Fast, secure Managed DNS—set up and managed for you

A secure online presence starts with reliable Domain Name System (DNS) management. Synex Technology provides managed DNS services that actively filter and protect your internet traffic using trusted platforms similar to OpenDNS. Our team configures, monitors and maintains DNS filtering to block harmful websites, reduce cyber risks and create a safer browsing experience for your organisation. With Synex, your business gains a dependable and well‑structured DNS environment that supports productivity and strengthens everyday security.

Why choose Synex for Managed DNS?

Synex ensures your domain is set up the right way, whether that means a full Cloudflare primary DNS configuration or a partial/CNAME setup when another authoritative DNS must be retained. We harden and verify DNS with DNSSEC and proper DS record publishing to prevent spoofing and tampering. All records—A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), SRV, and more—are added cleanly with correct TTLs and priorities, supported by staged changes and rollbacks. Change reviews, propagation checks, and monitoring reduce outages caused by misconfiguration, while Synex acts as a single partner coordinating across registrars and hosts and managing the Cloudflare dashboard end to end.

How we work (end-to-end)

Assess & plan

Confirm who’s authoritative today (registrar vs DNS host), export current records, and pick full vs partial setup.

Enable & import

Add the domain in Cloudflare (or your chosen DNS), review the auto-scanned records, and fix gaps.

Secure

Turn on DNSSEC, publish DS at the registrar, and verify the complete chain of trust for security.

Cut over

Update nameservers (for full setup), validate resolution, mail flow, and third-party verifications.

Operate

Change management, scheduled reviews, and documentation kept current.

We inventory existing DNS, confirm mail/auth records, and map dependencies before any cutover.

Migration without downtime

Add your domain, import/verify records, change nameservers (for full setup), and validate.

Security controls

DNSSEC activation + registrar DS update; access control and change logging.

Day-to-day changes

Monitoring & support

Ongoing checks, alerting, and help for launches, email moves, and provider changes.

Frequent Asked Questions

Can we manage email elsewhere and DNS with Synex/Cloudflare?

Yes. Keep any mail provider—Synex just manages the DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) in Cloudflare so mail keeps flowing.

What’s the difference between full and partial (CNAME) setup?

Full setup makes Cloudflare (managed by Synex) your primary DNS. Partial setup keeps your current DNS authoritative while proxying specific subdomains via Cloudflare—useful when you can’t change nameservers.

How do you prevent DNS spoofing?

We enable DNSSEC: Cloudflare signs the zone and generates a DS record that we add at your registrar, allowing resolvers to verify authenticity.

Who updates records when we launch a site or move email?

We do under change control. You’ll receive a confirmation and post-change checks (A/CNAME, MX, TXT, redirects) to ensure nothing breaks.
