Domains & DNS
Domains, DNS & Email Security
Domains and DNS are the quietest single point of failure in most businesses. We consolidate the portfolio, lock it down, and make email authentication something you can prove rather than hope for.
Consolidate and secure the portfolio
Scattered registrars, expired credit cards and unknown owners cause avoidable outages. We inventory every domain, transfer them into one managed account, enable registrar locks and set auto-renewal with alerting.
Resilient managed DNS
Anycast DNS with sensible TTLs, change control and versioned records. Every change is reviewed, so a single typo cannot take down your website, mail flow and phone system at once.
Email authentication and deliverability
SPF, DKIM and DMARC implemented in stages from monitoring to enforcement, with reporting so you can see who is sending as your domain and shut down spoofing.
Brand and defensive registrations
We advise on the variants worth holding, handle .au eligibility, and manage renewals for trading names and campaign domains across the group.
What you get
- One managed domain portfolio
- DMARC enforcement with reporting
- Registrar locks and renewal alerts
- Change-controlled DNS

Domains & DNS questions, answered
Can you consolidate domains spread across several registrars?
Yes. We inventory every domain, recover access where credentials are lost, transfer them into one managed account, then enable registrar locks, auto-renewal and expiry alerting.
What is DMARC and do we need it?
DMARC tells receiving mail servers what to do with messages that fail authentication. Without it, anyone can spoof your domain. We roll it out from monitoring to enforcement so legitimate mail is never blocked.
Do you handle .au eligibility requirements?
Yes. We check ABN and trading-name eligibility, register on your behalf and keep the records in your name — never locked to us.
Who owns our domains?
You do, always. Registrant details stay in your business name and we hand over access on request without penalty.
