DNS Checklist Before Launch

Before launching a site, DNS needs a final check. Small mistakes can make the website work while email, verification, or subdomains fail.

Website Records

Check the root domain and www. Make sure both point where you expect.

Email Records

Confirm MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records before changing nameservers.

Verification Records

Keep TXT and CNAME records used by search consoles, payment providers, CRMs, and mailing platforms.

Subdomains

Check staging, shop, portal, app, mail, and other subdomains before going live.

A DNS checklist prevents the classic launch problem where the website works but everything around it breaks.
