Change is inevitable. It is one of the few constants in life, particularly in business. Change can present many challenges that often require a level of expertise to manage. Your DNS service is no different. Migration of your authoritative DNS, whether from an on-premise solution or from another cloud service, can be a complex project involving multiple stakeholders and technical considerations.
As such, it’s important for clients to evaluate their specific needs and consider factors such as their website’s traffic volume, security requirements, and growth projections when contracting a new service. It is also critical to map out current functionality to the equivalent capabilities in the new service, making sure configurations line up. Finally, new functions available in the new service can be implemented to meet additional business goals. This can be a daunting challenge for organizations with limited DNS expertise. That’s where Vercara’s Fast Start professional services packages come into play.
