As a web hosting provider, we often recommend that our clients move their DNS/Zone records to our AWS Route 53 hosting. This page explains the benefits of this approach and why it’s our recommendation for hosting customers.
One of the significant advantages we offer is that we do not charge for hosting complex DNS records. While some of our competitors might add costs for this service, we believe in providing comprehensive support without hidden fees.
AWS Route 53 is our chosen solution for DNS delivery, and for good reason. It’s a powerful and reliable service that offers several key benefits:
When you migrate your DNS records to us, we provide expert assistance with DNS changes. Our team ensures that all changes are correctly implemented and solve any issues you might be facing. This hands-on support can be invaluable in maintaining the smooth operation of your website.
One of the standout features of AWS Route 53 is the speed of DNS changes. Any modifications to your DNS records are applied within 60 seconds, making them live on the Internet almost instantly. This rapid response time means your updates are effective before you even finish reading our response email.
The simplest option is to move your DNS to ours. Once we have copied over all your zone records, all we need you to do is update your name servers. We’ll guide you through this process.
For larger organisations that require specific IT governance, we offer the option to move your DNS to a new AWS account in your company name. We can set up a new AWS account for you at no charge and cover all Route 53 costs. Alternatively, if you have an existing AWS account, we can work with this too – if we are assured consistent access to the Route 53 management pages.
If you prefer to keep your DNS at your existing domain hosting, we can accommodate this as well. However, there is a $75 setup fee for this option. This fee also applies to existing clients who need AWS SES setup. While this option provides flexibility, it may not offer the same level of integrated support and rapid DNS changes that come with our AWS Route 53 hosting.
PLEASE NOTE: If you choose to host your DNS elsewhere, we can only support www.yourdomain.com website urls, not non-www domain names. This limitation is due to the configuration and management requirements of DNS records when hosted outside our AWS Route 53 environment. Ensuring your domain is set up as www.yourdomain.com allows us to provide the best possible support and service reliability.
