· الاسمserver 1 و 2
· Private nameservers و glue if used
Step 3: Expأوt DNS Zone إذا متاح
Use provider expأوt if possible. إذا not, use screenshots و a spreadsheet.
· Save date, provider, و النطاق name
Step 4: Back Up الويبsite Recأوds
Recأوd A, AAAA, CNAME, root, www, subالنطاق, CDN, app, و redirect recأوds.
· Identify live website recأوds
Step 5: Back Up البريد الإلكتروني Recأوds
Recأوd MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, autodiscover, mail subالنطاق, و provider verification recأوds.

· Useful fأو agencies و resellers
Step 10: Verify After Change
Test website, email, شهادة SSL, subالنطاقs, CDN, redirects, و DNSSEC after making changes.
· Use backup to restأوe if needed

Troubleshooting
الويبsite Stopped Wأوking
