Your Domain is staying with a Third Party

What to do when: Your Domain is staying with a Third Party and/or Your Emails are staying with a Third Party

When your website is ready to go live the A Records of the Domain need to be changed; as late in the day as possible.  Please let me know the time and date so I can be ready to change site links. On a Friday evening at 5 pm would be ideal. However, we prefer to manage your DNS via Cloudflare so please consider this alternative.

What is DNS? We cover that here…

DNS A Records Instructions are as follows:

  • A Record @ 3.11.211.80
  • A Record www 3.11.211.80
  • AAA Record @ 2a05:d01c:364:bf00:23ec:bcd5:36e6:3cc9
  • SPF, DKIM and DMARC are recommended, please make sure these are set up.

We recommend allowing us to Manage Your DNS via CloudFlare

Cloudflare is a CDN that makes your website faster, more secure and safer. We can give your I.T company user access on request. Find out more about Cloudflare.

If you wish to use CloudFlare please change the name servers to:

  • dayana.ns.cloudflare.com
  • Lewis.ns.cloudflare.com

It is very important you let us know before you do this or your existing website will go offline. We have to start the process at Cloudflare first so you get a seamless transfer of your old website to your new website; without any downtime.

Note: If you wish for Luminite to manage your domain and/or emails, you will need to transfer your domain name to us, refer to this post.
