Can I stop using Maildoso's DNS or move my domain to another DNS provider?

The two different paths depending on whether the domain was purchased through Maildoso or is your own domain connected to it.

If you're stopping outbound sending on a domain and want to move its DNS management away from Maildoso, the right steps depend on how you got the domain in the first place.

External domain you brought to Maildoso (BYO)

You already own this domain at your own registrar; Maildoso just manages its DNS while its nameservers point to us (see How DNS works on your Maildoso domains). To take that back:

Domain purchased through Maildoso

You don't hold this domain at an outside registrar, so there's nothing to point away from us — instead, the domain itself needs to move to you via a transfer-out (Dynadot push), which hands over both registration and DNS control together. See Transferring your domains out of Maildoso (push to Dynadot) for how that works and what it costs. Don't try to just "export the DNS records" while the domain is still registered through us — the domain has to actually leave Maildoso first.

Either way, mailboxes on the domain stop working once its DNS or registration moves away from Maildoso, so only do this for domains you're genuinely done sending from.

To avoid disruptions when connecting a primary domain to Maildoso, consider using a separate domain specifically for Maildoso campaigns. This ensures that changes to DNS settings for email outreach do not affect your website or everyday email services — see What are the best practices for configuring domains for Maildoso email campaigns? and How DNS works on your Maildoso domains (including websites and A/CNAME records on sending domains).
