Domain, DNS and business email setup
You need one domain connected to a website or one new business mailbox connected to an existing provider account.
Budget guide: US$190–475. I will quote the agreed scope after checking fit. This range is an indication, not a fixed price or a ceiling.
Is this for you?
You have a domain, a website and an email provider, and they need to point at each other correctly. DNS records feel risky to touch because one wrong change can take email or the site offline.
This is a good fit if
- You are connecting a domain to a new website or host
- You need a business mailbox on an existing provider account
- You want SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up properly
- You would rather someone careful makes the DNS changes
It is probably not the right fit if
- Emails already go missing and you need to know why. Start with the email diagnostic
- You want to migrate a whole mailbox history
- You need a new website built
What you walk away with
- DNS changes made and checked, with the old records saved first
- Site and mail tested after the change
- A short record of what was changed and why
Scope, timing and what is included
When this is useful
This is useful when connecting a domain or mailbox involves several providers and you want someone to check the change without disrupting existing services. For a simple connection, your provider’s setup instructions or included support may already cover what you need.
What you receive
Record current settings, make the agreed connection changes, test the endpoint or sending and receiving, document rollback steps, and follow up once after the provider’s stated propagation interval.
The agreed connection is verified. Unrelated DNS records are preserved.
What I need to begin
The domain, desired destination and ready provider accounts with permission to make the change.
Allow 1–3 business days, plus provider processing or DNS propagation after the required access and inputs are ready. I’ll confirm fit and the start date before payment.
Scope and expectations
Domain transfers, mailbox history imports and email migrations need their own quote.
If the provider still prevents verification, I will explain what remains open and agree the next step with you.
