I recently migrated my small business's website to a new hosting provider, and the DNS management for our domain has become a confusing mess with records scattered across the old host, our email service, and a CDN. I'm worried about causing downtime if I don't consolidate and update everything correctly. For other web admins who have streamlined this process, what is your recommended approach for centralized DNS management? Do you prefer using your domain registrar's DNS, a dedicated service like Cloudflare, or your hosting provider's nameservers, and what are the key records I absolutely must verify and test before fully cutting over to the new setup to avoid breaking email or subdomains?
