Managed DNS

Fast, secure, and reliable DNS set up and managed for you

Your domain’s DNS is the foundation of everything online: website, email, apps, APIs. Synex Technology provides Managed DNS so records are accurate, fast to resolve, and protected with best-practice security. We configure and operate your zone (often on Cloudflare’s global network) with change control, monitoring, and clear documentation so migrations, launches, and day-to-day updates are safe and predictable.

Why choose Synex for Managed DNS

• Right setup for your domain – Use a full setup (Cloudflare as primary DNS) or partial/CNAME setup when you must keep another authoritative DNS—Synex advises and implements the best fit.
• Hardened & verified – We enable DNSSEC and publish the required DS record at your registrar to prevent spoofing and tampering.
• Clean records, zero guesswork – A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), SRV and more – added with the correct TTLs and priorities, with staged changes and rollbacks.
• Fewer outages – Change reviews, propagation checks, and monitoring reduce misconfigurations that break websites or email.
• One partner – We coordinate across registrars/hosts (e.g., Namecheap, Hostinger) and manage the Cloudflare dashboard for you.

What’s included

• Zone audit & documentation – 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 – Adds/edits for A/CNAME/MX/TXT/SRV, mail security (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and app verifications.
• Monitoring & support – Ongoing checks, alerting, and help for launches, email moves, and provider changes.

How we work (end-to-end)

1. Assess & plan – Confirm who’s authoritative today (registrar vs DNS host), export current records, and pick full vs partial setup.
2. Enable & import – Add the domain in Cloudflare (or your chosen DNS), review the auto-scanned records, and fix gaps.
3. Secure – Turn on DNSSEC and publish DS at the registrar; verify chain of trust.
4. Cut over – Update nameservers (for full setup), validate resolution, mail flow, and third-party verifications.
5. Operate – Change management, scheduled reviews, and documentation kept current.

FAQs

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.
