Migration guide

Move DNS and traffic without interrupting your service.

Complete this guide in a test environment first, then roll it out to production in stages.
01

Pre-migration checks

Inventory DNS records, certificates, origins and dependencies. Lower TTL early to leave room for validation and rollback.

  • Export existing DNS records
  • Record current peak traffic and error rate
  • Set TTL to 300 seconds
  • Prepare a rollback path
02

Shift traffic gradually

Start with a low-risk subdomain through 1DUN and expand in stages. Observe at least one normal business cycle after each change.

CONFIG
old.example.com  A      203.0.113.10
www.example.com  CNAME  edge.1dun.net
03

Complete and clean up

Restore an appropriate TTL, confirm certificate renewal and monitoring have moved, then save the final configuration in the change record.
