How to Review DNS Records Before Removing a Legacy Subdomain

11/10/2026

An old subdomain may still serve downloads, API callbacks, certificate validation, or email-related verification.

Checks to make

Check authoritative records, access logs, certificates, integrations, and business owners. Confirm no active dependencies, prepare redirects or replacements where needed, and monitor for residual requests before removing the record.
