How to Find Your DNS Records in Sherweb
Considerations When Transferring DNS and Registrar
What Is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name System) is the system that translates human-readable domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses that computers use to locate websites and services. DNS records control how your domain connects to services like websites, email, and other hosted applications.
How to Find Your DNS Records in Sherweb
If your DNS is currently managed through Sherweb, follow these steps to locate your DNS records:
1. Go to the Sherweb Account Manager (https://client.sherweb.com/)
2. Log in using your registered email address and password.
3. At the top menu, click on Domains.
4. Locate the domain you want to manage and click Manage Records next to it.
5. You’ll now see all DNS records associated with that domain.
Make sure to copy or export these records before initiating a transfer.
Considerations When Transferring DNS
When transferring your domain and DNS to a new provider, keep the following in mind:
Downtime Risk: If DNS records are not properly replicated, your website or email services may experience downtime.
Record Accuracy: Ensure all existing DNS records (A, MX, CNAME, TXT, etc.) are correctly recreated with the new provider.
Final Steps
Once your DNS records are copied and your domain is unlocked, you can initiate the transfer with your new provider. Be sure to monitor the transition and test services after the switch to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
