How we reduce migration risk

  1. 1

    We scan before we touch anything

    A read-only preflight checks common website, mail, DNSSEC, and certificate signals; a full-domain move still requires an authoritative export.

  2. 2

    Your zone is staged for review

    Supported records are prepared before cutover, and provider-confirmed checks gate Brand My Inbox readiness states.

  3. 3

    We verify the visible switch

    The dashboard polls while setup is open, and scheduled monitoring continues for supported activation and health checks.

Choose your route

Complete address

Full domain

you@yourdomain.com

  • Cleanest address, no extra words
  • Cloudflare DNS capabilities depend on account and plan
  • Requires a complete authoritative DNS review
  • Nameserver changes happen only after readiness checks
Lower change scope

Delegated subdomain

you@em.yourdomain.com

  • Designed to leave root website and mail records unchanged
  • Delegates only the selected child zone
  • Provider publication time still applies
  • A later full-domain move requires a new readiness review
