Frequently Asked Questions

What is DNS?

DNS (Domain Name System) is like the phonebook of the internet. It translates human-readable domain names (e.g., example.com) into IP addresses that computers use to connect to websites.

What does the DNS Checker tool do?

The DNS Checker allows you to look up different types of DNS records (A, MX, CNAME, TXT, etc.) for a given domain name and verify if they are correctly set up.

What are DNS records?

DNS records are instructions stored in DNS servers that provide information about a domain, such as its IP address, mail server, or service locations.

Which DNS record types can I check with this tool?

You can check multiple record types, including:

. A (Address Record)

. NS (Name Server)

. MX (Mail Exchange)

. CNAME (Canonical Name)

. TXT (Text Records)

. SOA (Start of Authority)

. SRV (Service Record)

. PTR (Pointer Record)

Why is DNS checking important?

Checking DNS records ensures that your domain is properly configured for website hosting, email delivery, and other services. Misconfigured records can cause downtime or email failures.

What is an A record?

An A Record maps your domain name to an IPv4 address. This is how your website is found on the internet.

What is an MX record?

An MX Record specifies the mail servers responsible for handling email for your domain. Without it, you won’t be able to send or receive emails properly.

What is a CNAME record?

A CNAME Record points one domain to another domain. For example, www.example.com might point to example.com

Can I export DNS results?

Yes! The tool allows you to export DNS records to a CSV file for future reference or troubleshooting.

What should I do if my DNS records are not resolving?

If DNS records are missing or incorrect:

. Double-check your DNS provider settings.

. Wait for DNS propagation can take up to 24 to 48 hours

.Contact your hosting provider if the issue persists.
