Change only the records required for the connection
Read the platform's displayed DNS instructions and compare them with the registrar's current records. Preserve email-related records unless your email provider specifically directs a change. If you are uncertain, ask the registrar or email administrator before editing. Do not assume a website builder automatically migrates mailboxes or fixes external email configuration.
Practical checklist
- Record the existing DNS configuration
- Identify the website-specific records
- Keep unrelated email records
- Ask the provider about uncertainty
- Test website and email after changes
