Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the DNS Lookup.
What is DNS?
The Domain Name System translates human friendly names like example.com into the IP addresses computers use. DNS records also tell the internet where to deliver email and store verification data for services.
What do the different record types mean?
A and AAAA records point a domain to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. CNAME makes one name an alias of another. MX records route email. NS records list the authoritative name servers. TXT records hold text such as SPF and verification codes. SOA holds zone settings, and CAA lists which authorities may issue SSL certificates.
Why do my new DNS changes not show yet?
DNS records are cached for the time set in their TTL. After a change, it can take from a few minutes up to 48 hours for every resolver to see the new values. Lowering TTL before planned changes speeds things up.
How do I check if my email records are correct?
Look at the MX records to confirm they point to your email provider, and check TXT records for an SPF record starting with v=spf1. DKIM and DMARC records live on subdomains, such as _dmarc.example.com, which you can look up separately.
