DNS changes

In this document we refer to DNS changes for genenetwork.

Moving from godaddy to dnsimple

We are moving thing to a new DNS hosting service. We have accounts on both. To move a domain:

Sign in to your GoDaddy account.
Export the DNS record to a file
Print the DNS settings to a PDF
On GoDaddy disable WHOIS privacy protection (on the domains table)
On GoDaddy start a transfer from DNSsimple to get an auth code

+ Set up DNS delegation to point to DNSimple, in addition to GoDaddy servers

so you see Domain Privacy: Inactive on the domain settings page

+ Click your username at the top right of the page.

+ Select My Products.

+ Click Manage next to the relevant domain.

+ Scroll down to manage domain/settings and Additional Settings.

+ Transfer away

+ Click Get authorization code. Note: If you have more than 6 domains in your account, click Email my code

On DNSimple add the authorisation code under Tamara

+ Set transfer on DNSimple - tick DNS box

+ Check the `DNS on' switch - it may not be completely automatic

+ Cherk record on DNSimple

+ Check transfer with `dig $mydomain NS`

Import DNS settings on DNSimple (cut-N-paste)

+ Edit delegation - make sure the delegation box is set

https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/delegating-dnsimple-registered

Approve transfer on GoDaddy a few minutes later (!!), see

+ https://dcc.godaddy.com/control/transfers

Add DNSSec
Test
