What is DNSSEC and why is it important?

DNS translates a domain name into a server address. DNSSEC makes it possible to verify that the response actually comes from the authorised DNS zone.

What does this mean in practice?

DNSSEC adds digital signatures to DNS responses and helps prevent manipulation in transit. For most website owners, the goal is a stable, secure and maintainable solution.

What should you consider?

Look at the full combination of technology, management, backups and support. A single specification never tells the whole story.

Practical next step

Check your current situation, make a backup first and implement changes step by step. This makes it easy to go back if something turns out differently than expected.
