DNS Record Consultation & Management

With extensive experience managing thousands of DNS records across industries, ACS ensures every DNS record is properly configured for stability, deliverability, and security.

A Record (Address Mapping) Maps a domain name (hostname) to a static IPv4 address. Essential for connecting your domain to a web server or hosting environment.
AAAA Record (IPv6 Address) Maps a domain name to an IPv6 address. Supports modern networks and improves compatibility with newer internet protocols.
CNAME Record (Canonical Name) Aliases one domain to another, allowing multiple services (like subdomains) to point to a single destination. Helps streamline DNS management.
MX Record (Mail Exchanger) Directs email for a domain to the correct mail server. A properly configured MX record is essential for reliable email deliverability.
NS Record (Name Server) Specifies the authoritative DNS servers for a domain. These servers store all DNS records and control how your domain resolves across the web.
PTR Record (Reverse Lookup) Allows reverse DNS lookups by mapping an IP address back to a domain name. Often used for spam prevention and email server validation.
CERT Record (Certificate Record) Stores cryptographic certificates like PGP, PKIX, and SPKI. Enables secure, encrypted communication and authentication protocols.
SRV Record (Service Location) Defines the location (hostname and port) of servers for specific services, such as VoIP or messaging. Improves performance and availability of protocols beyond web and email.
TXT Record (Text) Contains human-readable or machine-readable data. Commonly used to verify domain ownership and support email security protocols like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
SPF Record (Sender Policy Framework) Specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. Helps prevent email spoofing and improves email deliverability and domain trust.
DKIM Record (DomainKeys Identified Mail) Attaches a cryptographic signature to outgoing emails to validate their authenticity. A key component of email security that supports domain reputation and inbox placement.
DMARC Record (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance) Works alongside SPF and DKIM to enforce email authentication policies. DMARC protects against phishing and spoofing while offering reporting on unauthorized email activity.
SOA Record (Start of Authority) Defines the authoritative DNS zone for a domain and includes critical metadata such as serial number, refresh intervals, and administrator contact. Required for DNS zone files.

Improper DNS configurations can result in serious security, performance, and compliance issues—especially for organizations in regulated industries such as banking, healthcare, legal, and insurance.

  • Loss of Email Functionality: Without properly configured MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records, your emails may bounce, land in spam, or fail to deliver entirely—causing missed leads, lost invoices, and failed communication with patients or clients.
  • Domain Spoofing & Phishing Risks: Missing email authentication records leaves your domain vulnerable to spoofing. Attackers can impersonate your email, damaging trust and exposing your organization to phishing or malware threats.
  • Reduced Domain Credibility & SEO Impact: Search engines may lower your trust signals if your DNS is misconfigured. It can result in crawl errors, broken site structure, or blacklisting—ultimately harming your visibility and rankings.
  • Total Domain Hijacking: Weak or outdated DNS settings can allow malicious actors to take over your domain. This can lead to website defacement, loss of data, email disruption, or even full service takedown.
  • Broken SaaS & CRM Integrations: Incorrect CNAME, TXT, or SRV records can break connections with platforms like Zoho CRM, email marketing tools, healthcare portals, or eCommerce platforms—impacting operations and user experience.
  • Compliance Violations (HIPAA, GLBA, PCI): DNS misconfigurations can expose sensitive data or disable secure transmissions, leading to non-compliance, audit failures, and potential legal consequences.

ACS Web Design & SEO proactively manages DNS records for clients in highly regulated industries, ensuring every domain is secured, monitored, and aligned with modern security and compliance standards.
