Domain & DNS Management
Renewals, connections and DNS done right
Domain & DNS Management
Your domain name is your address on the internet, and DNS is the system that points it to your website and email. If a domain expires or a DNS record is wrong, your website and emails can disappear overnight. We register and renew domains, connect them to your website and email, and manage DNS settings correctly.
We help with .co.za, .com, .africa and many other domain types.

Why domain management matters
Many businesses only think about their domain when something stops working. A missed renewal can take your website and email offline, and an expired domain can even be bought by someone else. Domains registered by a former designer or staff member can be hard to recover if the details are not in your business's name.
We help you take control of your domain, keep it renewed and make sure the registration details belong to your business.
DNS made simple
DNS records tell the internet where to find your website and where to deliver your email. A small mistake can send visitors to the wrong place or cause emails to bounce. We set up and manage your DNS records carefully, and document them so you always know how things are connected.
- A and CNAME records for your website
- MX records for email
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC for email trust
- Verification records for Google and Microsoft
Connecting new websites and services
Launching a new website, moving to a new email provider or adding a booking system often requires DNS changes. We plan these changes to avoid downtime, make them at the right time and test everything afterwards. DNS changes can take a few hours to spread around the internet, so we let you know what to expect.
Protecting your brand online
We can also help you register common variations of your domain, such as .com and .co.za versions, to protect your brand and stop others from using similar names. Keeping all your domains in one place makes renewals and management much easier.
Protecting your domain name
Your domain name is one of your most valuable business assets. If it expires, your website and email stop working, and in some cases someone else can register it. Make sure your domain is registered in your business's name, that renewal reminders go to an email address you check, and that you have access to the registrar account. We help you organise this so your domain is always protected.
Understanding DNS records
DNS records tell the internet where to find your website and email. A records point to your web server, MX records route your email, CNAME records create aliases and TXT records verify ownership and protect email with SPF, DKIM and DMARC. A small mistake in any of these can cause outages, so we make changes carefully and document everything.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a domain and hosting?
Your domain is your web address, such as yourbusiness.co.za. Hosting is the server space where your website files live. DNS connects the two.
How long does a domain transfer take?
Most .co.za transfers complete within a few days. Other domain types may take longer depending on the registrar.
Why are my emails going to spam?
Missing or incorrect SPF, DKIM or DMARC records are a common cause. We can check and fix your email DNS records.
Can you recover a domain registered by my old web designer?
We can help you through the transfer process. The domain usually needs to be released or authorised by the current registrant.
How long do DNS changes take?
Most DNS changes work within a few hours, but some can take up to 48 hours to update everywhere.
Do you register domains for clients?
Yes. We register domains in your business's name so you remain the owner.
