Guides
Guides and background for domains, mail and security
Step-by-step how-tos when you need to change DNS or mail settings, and longer background articles when you want the why behind the platform.
Three ways in
How does it work?
The guides on this page, for people who change DNS or mail.
What are the commitments?
Trust, privacy, terms and the data processing agreement.
Recommended reading path
Start with why (jurisdiction and standards), then fix DNS and mail authentication, then publish disclosure hygiene. Use how-tos when you are ready to change records.
- Why EU jurisdiction and one account matter: CLOUD Act guide, EU stack vs patchwork, European platform.
- Standards and measurement: Internet.nl path, DNSSEC chain of trust, SPF ten-lookup limit.
- Operate: Internet.nl checklist, SPF flattening, DMARC setup, MailControl standalone if the site stays elsewhere.
- Disclose: security.txt guide, then Security and trust. Create a My NovaMX account when you are ready to order.
