Hi I'm weaning myself away from shared hosting where all I had to to was update ns1, ns2 - that's it. Now I'm needing to make sure that DNS is correct for my employer's website. With a dollop of paranoia (security) and dash of perfectionism, I'm being particularly eager to use e.g. intodns.com as a starting point. I'm asking these questions assuming that they're related to WHM/cPanel especially. My current registrar say: I am afraid that this is not a service that we provide. So whose responsibility is to make sure that parts related to the DS Record are correct - strictly speaking? How significant is this from dnscheck.pingdom advanced view: DNSSEC Begin testing DNSSEC for ---.org.uk. Did not find DS record for ---.org.uk at parent. Servers for ---.org.uk have consistent extra processing status. Did not find DNSKEY record for ---.org.uk at child. No DNSKEY(s) found at child, other tests skipped. Done testing DNSSEC for ---.org.uk. Test completed for zone ---.org.uk.

  I see, so it's a Platform related matter, and not related to the Registar - e.g. DNS. Well, it makes good sense for it to be, why not(?) Thanks :) Dylan

  Oh, actually, it seems it's a mix of both parties, the Registrar and cPanel in this case: [url=http://wiki.gandi.net/en/domains/dnssec#how_to_install_dnssec_on_your_domain_name]DNSSEC - Welcome to Gandi's Online Documentation Wiki - Gandi Docs
