DNS, the Domain Name System, translates a web address into the server addresses that computers use to find your website and mail. Every domain depends on a handful of records: where the site is hosted, which server receives e-mail and which authentication rules protect it. A wrong or forgotten record can take a website offline or send business mail into spam without any visible warning. That is why DNS changes deserve the same care as changes to the website itself, especially during a move to new hosting. Internet Solutions registers web addresses for its website clients, hosts sites and business e-mail on its own servers and administers Linux and Windows servers. Keeping domain, DNS and hosting under one roof makes problems faster to diagnose.
