We had been using DNS registrations from the companies we were our servers were located. Using vendor supplied DNS was easy and convenient to a point. But as we grew, we found managing various DNS servers was increasing complicated -- for us and for our clients. It was not infrequent that we would make a change that was befeficial overall, but inconvenient for a few as they had to go back to their domain registrars and reconfigure the DNS based on our new requirements. We have been maintaining multiple DNS ever since, while begging people to modify their DNS to point to our current DNS servers: NS1.ProFusionWebsites.com and NS2.ProFusionWebsites.com. 15 months after our initial change, we decided to pull the plug on the remaining remote DNS server. As of Feb 15th, any site or email account that is not pointed to the appropriate ProFusionWebsite.com domain or does not have either their A Record (website location) or MX Record (Email location) pointed to our DNS servers or appropriately configured A Record/MX Record your site or email may stop working. In most cases, if we are handling both your website and your email, then just point your domain to our DNS and things will begin working properly again. If we are not handling both your website and your Email, and you have manually modified one or both of these records while pointing your domain do a different DNS then contact us if your email is not working correctly or your website is not displaying. Since we have multiple servers and various IP addresses of these servers, in most cases, it is easier just to point your DNS to our servers and let us handle the redirection of your mail if you have your own Exchange Mail server or use some 3rd party application for Email. This is a part of our "Everything you need for the web in one place." Just let us handle it, then you only have one support ticket to place if things are not working as expected. edited by reynoldsrj on 2/22/2010 edited by reynoldsrj on 2/22/2010
