More cloud, fewer cuckoos.

We provide independent, vendor-neutral consultancy for Google Workspace and Microsoft 365—covering design, migration planning, and operational handover. Engagements typically include an assessment of your current mail, identity, and security posture; a practical target architecture (cloud or hybrid); and a step-by-step migration and cutover plan with clear owner actions. Deliverables usually include a concise decision brief (costs, trade-offs, constraints), a migration runbook with test and rollback steps, security baselines (MFA, device and data controls), and an admin handover with next steps. We can also support execution (pilot, staged moves, final cutover) and coordinate DNS, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and user comms where required.

You may hate it, but you really do need it.

Overview Blue Canoe DNS is a globally anycast, high-uptime authoritative service. Our footprint includes UK nodes plus Africa, USA, China, Mainland Europe, and Australia, with plans to add additional nodes in South America and the Middle East - for low-latency resolution worldwide. We support DNSSEC and all common record types (A/AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT for SPF/DKIM, SRV, CAA). Keeping DNS separate from hosting makes migrations painless and improves your security posture. This service is included by default with all managed hosting packages, but can also be purchased standalone. Start with a single domain and scale to dozens; pricing is simple per-domain annual billing. A typical setup starts with an import of existing records, enabling DNSSEC, switching nameservers, and monitoring — most changes propagate within minutes.
