DNS migration pre-flight checklist

Most DNS-migration outages are avoidable — a forgotten MX record, a too-long TTL, a subdomain nobody documented. This pre-flight checklist walks the prep, parity check and cutover so a nameserver move is a non-event.

What's inside

  • TTL lowering schedule before the move (so cutover is fast + reversible)
  • A full record inventory: A/AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), CAA, SRV, NS
  • Record-parity check at the new provider before you switch nameservers
  • Email-safety steps so MX + SPF/DKIM/DMARC survive the move
  • Cutover + verification + rollback plan
