DNS Is Invisible Until It Breaks – Then Everything Stops Working.
Emails stop delivering. Websites go offline. Third-party tools lose their connection. Subdomains stop resolving. And because DNS changes take time to propagate, every hour spent diagnosing the wrong thing is an hour your business pays the price.
Most DNS problems are not random failures. They are the predictable result of records set up incorrectly, layers added over time without structure, or migrations handled without cleaning up what came before. The causes are fixable, but finding them requires both the right knowledge and the right tools.
Yeevu’s DNS Configuration service gives you a correctly built, fully documented DNS setup that works reliably and is structured to support everything your business depends on it for.
02
The Problems We Solve
Emails Going to Spam or Bouncing
The most common DNS-related problem businesses experience is email deliverability failure. When SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are missing, misconfigured, or not properly aligned with each other, inbox providers treat your emails as suspicious. The result ranges from reduced deliverability to outright rejection. We configure all three authentication layers correctly, aligned to your actual sending infrastructure, and validated against the major inbox providers.
Websites Going Offline During Migrations
Platform migrations that involve moving a website to a new host are among the highest-risk DNS scenarios. If the timing of the DNS cutover is wrong, if TTL values were not adjusted in advance, or if the new hosting environment was not fully ready before DNS was pointed at it, visitors to your site encounter errors during the transition. We plan migrations with continuity as the primary objective, adjusting TTLs in advance, verifying the destination environment before cutover, and monitoring closely during the propagation window.
Third-Party Tools Losing Verification
Many business tools require domain verification via a DNS TXT record. When these records are added without proper documentation, conflicts can emerge over time. When domains are migrated, verifications are sometimes lost. We audit existing verification records, identify conflicts or gaps, and ensure every tool your business depends on is properly verified and connected.
Nobody Knows What the DNS Records Actually Do
This is more common than most businesses like to admit. DNS records accumulate over years of adding tools, switching providers, and onboarding new platforms. The person who originally configured them has often long since moved on. What remains is a set of records that nobody currently in the business fully understands, and that nobody wants to touch for fear of breaking something. We document every record, explain what each one does, and give your team a reference they can actually use.
Subdomains That Do Not Resolve or Route Incorrectly
Subdomains are frequently set up in a hurry and rarely audited. Whether it is a subdomain for a client portal, a staging environment, a marketing landing page, or an email tracking domain, misconfigured subdomain records are a common source of business disruption. We audit, document, and correctly configure every subdomain your business uses.
03
Who This Is For
Businesses setting up a new domain
who want their DNS configured correctly from the start, with every record in place before their website, email, or tools go live.
Businesses migrating to a new platform
whether that is a new website host, a new email provider, or a new productivity suite. Every migration involves DNS changes, and those changes need to be sequenced and executed carefully to avoid downtime.
Businesses onboarding new tools
that require DNS verification or configuration, including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, email marketing platforms, customer support tools, and security services.
Businesses troubleshooting unexplained issues
where emails are being rejected, websites are intermittently unreachable, or third-party tools have stopped working and nobody can identify why.
Businesses that have inherited a DNS setup
they do not fully understand, with records created by previous developers or agencies that are undocumented and potentially conflicting.
Businesses preparing for growth
that want their domain infrastructure properly structured before they scale, rather than having to untangle accumulated complexity later.

05
What Every Engagement Includes
Full DNS Audit
Before any changes are made, we document every record currently in place, identify what each one is for, and flag anything incorrect, outdated, or conflicting.
Configuration Planning
A clear plan detailing every change to be made, the sequence, and any TTL adjustments needed in advance — including a cutover plan for migration-related work.
Implementation
Changes made in the correct sequence to maintain continuity throughout. TTL values managed strategically to minimise propagation windows during transitions.
Post-Configuration Validation
Every record tested against its intended function after implementation. Email authentication alignment verified. MX routing confirmed. Nothing signed off until everything resolves correctly.
DNS Record Map
Complete documentation of every record in your DNS — what it is, what it does, and what it connects to. A reference your team can actually use.
06
Deliverables
A fully configured and validated DNS setup. Complete DNS record map. Email authentication alignment confirmed across SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. All third-party tool verifications confirmed. Subdomain configuration documented.
07
Our Process & Timeline
- Discovery and Access We begin with a brief conversation to understand your domain setup, what you are trying to achieve, and any specific issues you are experiencing. We request read access to your DNS management console and any relevant platform accounts.
- Audit and Documentation We conduct a full audit of your existing DNS records, document every record currently in place, and produce a complete picture of your current configuration including what is correct, what is outdated, and what needs to change.
- Configuration Planning We produce a configuration plan detailing every change to be made, the order in which changes will be implemented, and any TTL adjustments needed in advance of the work. For migration-related engagements, we include a cutover plan with timing recommendations.
- Implementation Changes are made according to the agreed plan. TTL adjustments are made in advance where required. Records are added, updated, or removed in the correct sequence to maintain continuity throughout the process.
- Validation and Sign-Off Full post-configuration validation across all record types. Email authentication testing. Propagation confirmation. Any adjustments needed following validation are made before sign-off.
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the configuration and any migration sequencing requirements. Straightforward configurations can be completed in 3-5 business days (including DNS propagation). Complex multi-domain or migration-involved engagements are scoped individually.

Why do Businesses Choose Yeevu for DNS Configuration?
We treat DNS as a precision task.
Every record we configure has a purpose, is documented, and is tested before we consider the work complete. We do not make changes without understanding the full context of what is already in place.
We document everything.
The biggest long-term problem with DNS is undocumented configurations that accumulate over time and become impossible to manage safely. Everything we touch is documented clearly and handed over to your team in a format that is actually useful.
We plan for continuity.
Whether we are making a single record change or managing a full platform migration, we plan every step with the goal of keeping your business running without interruption throughout the process.
We cover the full email authentication stack.
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC configuration is an area where many generic technical services fall short. We configure all three layers correctly, aligned to your actual sending infrastructure, and validated against real inbox providers.
We work across everything DNS connects to.
DNS does not exist in isolation. It connects to your website hosting, your email infrastructure, your productivity suite, and your marketing tools. Because Yeevu covers all of these areas, our DNS configurations are built with the full picture in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does DNS propagation take?
DNS propagation refers to the time it takes for changes to a DNS record to be reflected across all resolvers globally. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours depending on the TTL value of the record being changed and the caching behaviour of individual resolvers. We manage TTL values strategically to make propagation as fast as possible for planned changes.
Will there be any downtime during DNS configuration?
For standard record additions and updates, there is no downtime. For changes that involve rerouting web traffic or email to a new destination, the risk of downtime is managed through advance TTL reduction, careful sequencing of changes, and monitoring during the propagation window. We plan for zero downtime and tell you in advance if a particular change carries any risk.
Do you need full access to our DNS management console?
We request the minimum level of access needed to complete the work. In most cases, this means access to the DNS management area of your domain registrar or hosting control panel. We are happy to work under supervision if you prefer to retain direct control of the console while we direct the changes.
Can you configure DNS for multiple domains?
Yes. We work with businesses managing single domains, multiple branded domains, and complex multi-domain setups. Each domain is audited, documented, and configured individually to its specific requirements.
What if we have DNS records from a previous agency or developer that we do not understand?
This is one of the most common situations we encounter. The audit we conduct at the start of every engagement specifically addresses this. We identify every record in place, determine what it is for, flag anything that is outdated or conflicting, and produce documentation that gives you full visibility of your domain configuration for the first time.
Can you help if our DNS is actively broken and we need urgent help?
Yes. If you are experiencing an active DNS-related issue, contact us directly and we will prioritise assessment and resolution. Urgent engagements are handled on a case-by-case basis depending on current availability.
How much does DNS configuration cost?
Straightforward record additions and fixes are small, quickly scoped pieces of work; multi-domain cleanups and migrations are priced by size. Either way, you receive a written quote with the full cost of the DNS configuration service before we change anything.
