How to move your DNS to Transcom safely after a transfer

Transferring the registrar doesn't move your DNS — if you want DNS hosted here too, do it carefully to avoid downtime:

1. Complete the registrar transfer first and let the domain settle in your account.
2. In Domains → DNS, recreate every record you currently have: A/AAAA for the web, MX for email, plus any TXT (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), CNAME and SRV records. Copy them exactly from your old DNS.
3. Double-check email records especially — a missing MX or SPF record means mail stops.
4. Verify the new zone resolves correctly (use dig or an external checker) before switching.
5. Change the nameservers to Transcom's, then wait for propagation (up to the nameserver TTL).
6. Leave the old DNS in place for a day or two as a safety net until propagation completes.

If you'd rather not move DNS at all, that's fine — a transferred domain can keep pointing at whatever nameservers it already uses.
