What is DNS? An why does Sierra Interactive need to manage my domain?

Understanding DNS and How Sierra Interactive Helps Manage Your Domain

The Domain Name System (DNS) is like an online address book that helps people find websites. Think of your domain as the address for your business or service on the internet. When people know your domain, they can easily visit your website to learn more about what you offer.

At Sierra Interactive, we take the domain you own and connect it to the website we've built for you, hosted on our secure servers. Our team is here to help maintain your domain and assist with any requests related to DNS configuration. If you ever need help, feel free to reach out to our support team at Support@sierrainteractive.com.

Why Point Your Domain to Sierra's Cloudflare Account?

By linking your domain to Sierra's Cloudflare account, you get several important benefits:

  • Automatic SSL Renewal: This keeps your website’s security certificates up-to-date without you having to worry about it.

  • DDoS Protection: Cloudflare helps protect your site from harmful attacks.

  • Reduced Risk: If there’s ever an issue with any website code, Cloudflare minimizes your exposure to it.

  • Advanced Security Features: Our Web Application Firewall (WAF) adds another layer of protection.

  • Improved Site Performance: Cloudflare’s content delivery network (CDN) boosts your website’s speed.

  • Centralized Control: You’ll have easier access to your website settings, making it quicker to resolve any issues.

  • Comprehensive Monitoring: Our DNS team provides reports, insights, and logs to track and address any problems with your site.

  • Compliance: Cloudflare ensures your website is encrypted for security, meeting industry standards.

You Retain Control of Your Domain

We know how important it is for you to maintain control of your domain. Hosting your domain on Sierra's Cloudflare account does not affect your ownership. You can reach out to our team at anytime to make any updates to the DNS settings for your domain. If you decide to switch your domain to another provider, you can easily do so by updating the nameservers with your domain registrar, without needing approval from Sierra.

Note: Once you remove the nameservers from your domain via your registrar, your website with Sierra Interactive will come down till the nameservers are pointed back to our Cloudflare account. 

At Sierra Interactive, we’re committed to helping you keep your website secure, fast, and fully under your control. Let us know if you need any assistance!
