Managed DNS
DNS is the layer nobody thinks about until it breaks, and when it breaks it takes the website, the email, or both. We make the changes you ask for, keep a copy of the zone before touching anything, and check every morning that the records still say what we set them to.
With Cascadia you get
A record change is made for you rather than left for you to make. A records, CNAMEs, MX, TXT, and SRV, the email records and the verification records for the services you use, all done by the people who already know your zone.
A change is made, checked against what it was meant to do, and recorded. If it causes trouble, the copy taken beforehand goes back in seconds rather than being rebuilt from memory.
Records get edited by registrars, by plugins, by a developer working quickly. The daily comparison is what turns that from a mystery outage into a message from us the next morning.
What you get
All of these come with Managed DNS, set up and looked after by our team.
Tell us which domain to look at and we will read your zone as it stands.
A registrar portal gives you a record editor and leaves the rest to you. The useful part is further in: whether the records still say what you set, what moved while nobody was looking, and how fast you can put it back.
| What to compare | Registrar or DNS portal | Cascadia Managed DNS |
|---|---|---|
| Changes | You edit the records yourself | Record changes made for you, within two business days of asking |
| Safety | No copy of what the zone said before | A copy of the whole zone before any change, put back in seconds |
| Drift | Nothing watches the records after you save | Live records compared daily against what we set |
| Alerts | You find out when something breaks | Records that disappear are caught the next morning |
| History | Recent edits at best | 90 days of history, day by day |
| Expertise | A general helpdesk | Cloudflare specialists, not a helpdesk |

Records get changed by registrars, by plugins, and by a developer working quickly. We keep a copy of the zone before touching anything and compare the live records every morning, so a change nobody mentioned reaches you as a message from us rather than a mystery outage.
Get StartedDNS is the layer nobody thinks about until it breaks, and when it breaks it takes the website, the email, or both. We make the changes you ask for, keep a copy of the zone first, and check every morning that the records still say what we set them to.
Get StartedYou can sell the outcome without hiring for it. We run the technical and content work under your brand, deliver reporting you can pass straight to a client, and stay out of the relationship.
Get StartedWe check your DNS records every morning so you do not have to, and tell you the day something changes.
We start by reading your zone as it stands: what points where, what is proxied, which records belong to services you still use and which are left over. You get that picture before anything changes.
Get StartedRecords are changed within two business days, and a copy of the whole zone is taken first. Risky changes, such as anything touching MX or nameservers, get explained before they happen rather than done quietly.
Get StartedFrom then on it is simple. You ask for a change and we make it within two business days. Every morning the live records are compared with what we last set, and anything that moved becomes a ticket naming what it was before.
Get StartedSee the work
Once a month you get one report showing what happened with DNS changes, edge protection, and your domains and their expiry dates, what we did about it, and anything we need from you.

We make the DNS changes you ask for within two business days, and we take a copy of the whole zone before touching anything. Every morning the live records are compared against what we last set, and anything that moved becomes a message from us. Every change is logged, summarized in your monthly report, and reversible.
On the first Tuesday on or after the 3rd of each month, at 11 AM Pacific, covering the month just ended. It comes by email to the people on your account who receive reports, with a link to the full report online that stays open for 90 days.
The records are free. Knowing that one of them changed at 2am is not. A registrar gives you a form; it does not take a snapshot before a change, does not check the records daily, and does not tell you when something disappears.
The copy taken beforehand goes back in seconds, rather than being rebuilt from memory. Every change is checked against what it was meant to do before it is called done, and nothing is changed without a record of what it was.
Within two business days of asking. A copy of the whole zone is taken first, the change is checked against what it was meant to do, and what it was before is recorded.
No. The zone stays in your own Cloudflare account, and every change we make is logged, summarized in your monthly report, and reversible. You are asking us to do the work, not handing over ownership.
Access to your Cloudflare account, and a note of anything that must not be touched. That is all. Nothing is installed on your website, and no access to the site itself is needed.
We will move it first, which we do regularly and without downtime when it is planned properly. Records are copied across and verified before the nameservers change, so nothing is guessed at.
Anything in the zone: A records, CNAMEs, MX, TXT, SRV, verification records for a new service, a subdomain for a staging site. There is no per-change fee and no ticket allowance.
This service is about the records that point traffic at the right place. Edge Protection is about the settings that protect the traffic once it arrives: firewall, bots, caching, and SSL. Most sites want both, which is what Domain Pro is.
Yes. The live records are compared every morning against what we last set, so a record edited by a registrar, a plugin, or somebody working quickly becomes a message from us the next morning, naming what moved and what it was.
Ninety days, day by day. You can see what a record said on any date in that window, when it changed, and what it changed to.
Yes. DNS and hosting are separate things. We manage the records whether the site sits with us, with another host, or on a platform like Shopify.
We do not register or renew domains under this service; that is Domain Management. We also do not manage mailboxes, though we will happily set up the records your mail provider needs.
Yes. It is monthly, and the zone is yours. If you leave, the records stay exactly where they are and access simply ends.
We’d love to hear from you!
