DNS and Edge Operations

Client-owned Cloudflare setup and managed DNS operations

Reduce DNS and edge infrastructure risk with a setup model where your team owns the Cloudflare account and we provide implementation and operational support. This includes nameserver migration planning, record governance, SSL/TLS hardening, and edge performance and security tuning.

When this is a fit
1

Use it to reduce operational risk

This service fits teams that need a cleaner DNS and edge setup with less dependency on informal processes.


2

Keep infrastructure client-owned

It works well when organizations want implementation help without losing control of the Cloudflare account.


3

Support both migration and steady-state operations

The scope can cover nameserver cutovers, hardening, governance, and ongoing change support.

Engagement fit

Best for teams that need stronger control over DNS and edge changes

This service is designed for organizations that need a more reliable operating model for DNS, SSL/TLS, caching, and edge security without handing ownership of the platform to a vendor.

It works especially well when teams need migration support, change governance, and a clearer handoff model for ongoing operations.

Included deliverables

  • Cloudflare account and zone onboarding in a client-owned tenant
  • DNS record migration, validation, and cutover support
  • SSL/TLS setup, redirect strategy, and origin hardening
  • CDN caching rules and basic performance tuning
  • WAF baseline and managed edge security controls

Engagement model

Engagements can be delivered as one-time implementation projects or ongoing managed operations retainers. Response windows, change volumes, and incident support expectations are defined in the scope of work.
