Email & DNS

Your name, resolved.

DNS is the part of the internet everyone fears touching, so records rot and email quietly lands in spam. We keep your zone correct, your mail routed, and your hands off the scary control panel.

Hand over the zoneincluded with hosting

$ dig yourdomain.com +short

$ dig mx yourdomain.com +short

$ whois yourdomain.com | grep -i registrant

Registrant: you. Always you.

The division of labor

We mind the records. You keep the keys.

Your domain never moves into our name — that arrangement only ever benefits the host. You stay the owner at your registrar; we do the careful work inside the zone.

We mind

  • Every DNS record — created, changed, verified
  • Propagation watched until the world agrees
  • Email routing to your provider, done right
  • SPF, DKIM, and DMARC kept aligned
  • CAA records so only our CA can issue certs
  • A nudge before your domain renewal, every year

You keep

  • Ownership of the domain — always yours
  • Your registrar account and its password
  • The renewal payment (usually $10–15/yr)
  • The power to point it elsewhere, any day

If your registrar's panel confuses you, we'll walk you through the one change we ever need: pointing the nameservers our way. Ten minutes, once.

Email

Mail that arrives, and gets believed

We don't run mailboxes — that job belongs with providers built for global mail. We do everything around them, which is where email actually breaks.

Forwarding

included

[email protected] lands in the inbox you already read. Add aliases for billing@, press@, or the dog — forwarding rules are included and unlimited.

Routing

any provider

Real mailboxes stay with the people who do mail well — Google Workspace, Fastmail, Proton. We set the MX records and verification so it simply works.

Deliverability

spf · dkim · dmarc

The difference between the inbox and the spam folder is three TXT records most hosts never set. We set them, align them, and check them after every change.

A managed zone

What your records look like in our care

An example zone, typed the way we'd build yours: site records first, then mail, then the trust records most hosts forget.

zone: yourdomain.com — managed by hostfluency

Example DNS records we manage for your domain
typenamevaluettl
A@203.0.113.42300; your site, on its beacon node
AAAA@2001:db8:2a::1300; same, over IPv6
CNAMEwwwyourdomain.com.3600; www points home
MX@10 mail.yourmailhost.com.3600; mail routed to your provider
TXT@"v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailhost.com ~all"3600; SPF — who may send as you
TXThf._domainkey"v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGfMA0GCSq…"3600; DKIM — signed mail
TXT_dmarc"v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@…"3600; DMARC — policy on fakes
CAA@0 issue "letsencrypt.org"3600; only our CA may issue certs

; writing records…

Changes are made by hand, checked twice, and watched through propagation. You ask in plain English — “make mail go to Fastmail” — and we translate it into the rows above.

Stop fearing the DNS panel.

Bring the domain; keep the keys. We'll take over the records, fix the mail plumbing, and you'll never open that control panel again.
