Our company has a public website hosted by a web hosting company. In the domain settings for our domain (“company.com”), the DNS settings point to the web hosting company’s DNS servers.
We now want to establish an Active Directory environment, so we’ll be setting up our own DNS servers on our LAN and will be creating a corporate domain called CORP.COMPANY.COM, which will contain all our users and computers. We plan on leaving the public website on the web hosting company’s servers instead of moving it inhouse.
My question is, do I leave the DNS settings for “company.com” the same in the WHOIS database or do I point it back to our internal DNS servers and then create a host record in our internal DNS servers that point to the web hosting servers?
