Website security is traditionally associated with protection from hacks, viruses, or DDoS attacks, but in reality, there is another critically important element that even experienced website owners often overlook. This refers to DNS records — the fundamental mechanism that ensures users land on your legitimate website rather than a malicious copy created by attackers. DNS, or the Domain Name System, is the system that translates human-friendly domain names into technical IP addresses. Essentially, it is the “phone book” of the internet. If DNS works incorrectly or is modified by an unauthorized party, your website may become inaccessible, visitors may be redirected to phishing pages, and domain mail services can become completely blocked. This is why DNS protection is just as important as safeguarding servers or web applications.
