Benefits
The DigiCert® DNS platform enables granular management of nameserver sets, providing precise control and flexibility. This allows seamless adaptation to changing infrastructure, smooth migration to new DNS providers, and safe testing of custom configurations without affecting unrelated domains. Users can create and reuse standardized nameserver sets across multiple domains to reduce manual setup, enforce consistency, and simplify large-scale management. Streamlined cleanup, automation, and troubleshooting further accelerate deployment, minimize misconfiguration risks, and improve overall system reliability.
