Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name System) is like the internet's phone book. It translates human-readable domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses that computers use.
How long does DNS propagation take?
DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate worldwide due to caching. Use this tool to check if changes have propagated to Google's DNS servers.
What is an MX record?
MX (Mail Exchange) records specify which mail servers handle email for your domain. They're essential for email delivery.
Why do I see multiple A records?
Multiple A records often indicate load balancing or redundancy. Traffic is distributed across multiple servers for better performance and reliability.
