The problem: a mailbox that still points at the old host. This is where CAA records breaks for a plant nursery.

We write notes like this one because the same problems come back. If someone at a plant nursery reads it and avoids a mailbox that still points at the old host, the note paid for itself.

Maintenance is not glamorous, but it is the reason a plant nursery has not had downtime since we took over CAA records. The invoice is small and the peace of mind is large.

After fixing CAA records, we added a monitoring alert. If the record changes or the certificate approaches expiry, both we and a plant nursery get an email. No surprises.

Test CAA records from outside your network before you call it done. Your office Wi-Fi might cache the old answer for another six hours.

Every technical decision for a plant nursery comes back to one question: does this help the person looking at the site right now? If CAA records is invisible to that person, it is working.

Every CMS update brings a small chance that CAA records breaks. For a plant nursery, we pin versions and test upgrades in a staging copy before touching production.

For a plant nursery, we wrote a three-line script that checks CAA records every morning and emails the owner if anything changes. Total cost: zero.
