DNS MANAGEMENT
IS YOUR WEBSITE’S PERFORMANCE BEING HELD BACK BY INEFFICIENT DNS MANAGEMENT?
Inefficient DNS management can significantly impact your website’s performance. DNS (Domain Name System) is responsible for translating human-friendly domain names into IP addresses that computers use to communicate. If this process is slow or mismanaged, it can lead to longer DNS lookup times, which in turn delays the loading of your web pages.
Here are a few ways inefficient DNS management can affect your website:
User Experience: Users expect fast access to websites. Slow load times can frustrate users, leading to higher bounce rates and potentially driving them to competitors.
SEO Rankings: Search engines consider page load times when ranking websites. Efficient DNS management can help improve your site’s speed and, consequently, its search engine ranking.
DNS MANAGEMENT BEST PRACTICES
A COMPLETE GUIDE TO DOMAIN NAME SECURITY
Protecting domain name management is crucial to maintaining the security and integrity of your online presence. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to do so:
-
Choose a trusted domain registrar known for security; research and review to confirm their commitment to your domain's safety.
-
Activate 2FA for your domain registrar account, adding an extra security layer with a second authentication step.
-
Create complex and unique passwords for your registrar account. Avoid using easily guessable information like birthdays or common words.
-
For domain control, secure your associated email with strong passwords and 2FA. Use distinct email addresses for registration and personal use.
-
Registrar WHOIS privacy protection conceals your personal data, reducing identity theft and spam risks.
-
Maintain updated contact info with your registrar for essential notifications and issue resolution.
-
Regularly review your domain portfolio to check relevance; unused or expired domains can attract malicious intent. Verify correct registration duration and prompt renewal.
-
Use domain locking features provided by registrars. This prevents unauthorised transfers of your domain to another registrar.
-
Implement DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) for protection against DNS attacks; routinely monitor DNS settings for unauthorised changes.
-
Only trust verified sources for domain management and verify unsolicited domain-related requests independently.
-
Back up your website's content and settings regularly. This ensures you can recover quickly in case of a security breach or accidental changes.
-
Enable alerts for domain setting changes and monitor for unauthorized registrar account access.
-
Use secure payment methods when renewing domains or making any transactions related to domain management.
