DNS for Smartly Done clients

Manage your DNS records without the guesswork.

Smartly Done DNS is a secure portal for viewing and updating the DNS records behind your website and email. Pick a domain, make a change, and check that it has spread. Every change is checked first and logged afterward.

What you can do

See, change and check your DNS in one place

DNS tells the internet where your website and email live. A wrong record can take either offline. Smartly Done DNS gives you the controls you need and a few guardrails you will be glad of.

See every record

Open a domain and see all of its records in one list, whichever provider hosts it. Search, sort and filter to find the one you need.

Change records with care

Add, edit and delete A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV and CAA records. Each record is checked before it is saved. Deleting asks you to confirm, with extra warnings for NS and MX records, because a mistake there can take a site or email offline.

Check that a change has spread

Run a check on any record to see what Google, Cloudflare, OpenDNS and Quad9 return for it. You can tell when a change is live without guessing.

Cloudflare tools built in

For domains on Cloudflare, people with zone access can purge the cache, block AI crawlers and let Cloudflare manage the AI directives in robots.txt. It all sits on the same page as the records.

Who it helps

Made for people who need DNS to just work

Business owners

You own the domain, but DNS is not your day job. Update the records that connect your website, email and online tools, and see when each change has taken effect.

Web and marketing teams

Verify a domain for email, analytics or a new service. Add the TXT or CNAME record you were given and confirm it is live.

Agencies and IT administrators

Keep many domains in one place, even when they sit with different providers. Administrators can tag and pin domains, give each person limited access and review the log of changes.

Safeguards

Built to protect live DNS

Access limited per domain

Each person sees only the domains they need. Viewing, creating, editing, deleting and managing the zone are separate permissions.

Every change is logged

Administrators can review who changed what and when, with the old and new values.

Access ends when you say so

When an administrator deactivates an account, its access stops right away, even if the person is still signed in.

Sessions do not linger

Idle sessions sign out on their own, and no session lasts longer than 12 hours.

Get started

Three steps from request to first change

  1. Ask for access

    Contact Smartly Done. An administrator creates your account and chooses the domains you can see.

  2. Sign in

    Use the account Smartly Done set up for you. If a password was generated for you, you choose your own the first time you sign in.

  3. Manage your domains

    Open a domain, review its records, make a change and check that it has spread.
