Frequently Asked Questions
What is a DNS Lookup?
A DNS lookup is a process that converts domain names to IP addresses. It allows you to see all DNS records associated with a domain, including A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT, NS, and other record types.
How do I interpret DNS records?
Different record types have different purposes: A records show IPv4 addresses, AAAA show IPv6 addresses, MX records indicate mail servers, NS records list name servers, and TXT records can contain various text information including SPF records for email validation.
Why might I need to check DNS records?
You might check DNS records when setting up a new website, troubleshooting email delivery issues, verifying domain ownership, diagnosing website connection problems, or analyzing security configurations. It's essential for domain management and web hosting configuration.
How long does it take for DNS changes to propagate?
DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to propagate globally, depending on the TTL (Time To Live) values of your DNS records and how DNS caching is configured by various DNS providers and ISPs.
What does TTL mean in DNS records?
TTL (Time To Live) is a value in seconds that determines how long a DNS record should be cached by resolving servers before requesting a fresh copy. Lower TTL values mean changes propagate faster, while higher values reduce DNS lookup traffic.
