audasmedia.com.au — DNS Baseline (pre-Cloudflare migration)

Captured 2026-08-31. Must be preserved when moving DNS to Cloudflare. Registrar: CrazyDomains (now Squarespace). Current NS: InMotion (ns1/ns2.inmotionhosting.com). Website currently hosted on InMotion VPS (173.231.229.92).

Current records (authoritative)

Type Name Value Purpose
A @ 173.231.229.92 Website → InMotion VPS (keep as-is for now)
A cpanel 173.231.229.92 cPanel access
A webmail 173.231.229.92 InMotion webmail
A ftp 173.231.229.92 FTP
CNAME www @ (alias to apex) www redirect
CNAME mail @ mail alias → apex
MX @ 0 audasmedia.com.au Self-MX (broken) — replace with Zoho's MX
TXT @ v=spf1 ip4:173.231.229.92 +mx +a +ip4:66.117.5.136 ~all Old SPF (InMotion IPs) — update to include Zoho + SES
NS @ ns1/ns2.inmotionhosting.com Replace with Cloudflare's 2 NS at registrar

Notes

  • No AAAA. No existing DKIM/DMARC (fresh).
  • autodiscover NXDOMAIN (no record — fine; Zoho doesn't need it).
  • After Cloudflare migration: A records stay identical (site remains on InMotion VPS until CMS migration); only MX/SPF/TXT/DKIM/DMARC change for email.

Email target (Phase 2)

  • Inbound: Zoho Mail free tier — mailbox sam@audasmedia.com.au
  • Outbound: Amazon SES (already have AWS account)
  • MX → Zoho, SPF → Zoho + SES, DKIM → Zoho + SES, DMARC → new

Part of Migration Plan — InMotion to Local + AWS Offsite Phase 2. Track in Migration Work Log.
