Frequently Asked Questions

What is an A record?

An A (Address) record maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. It's the most fundamental DNS record, telling browsers which server IP to connect to when someone visits your domain.

What are MX records used for?

MX (Mail Exchange) records specify the mail servers responsible for receiving email for your domain. They include a priority value - lower numbers have higher priority for email delivery.

Why is my DNS not propagating?

DNS propagation can take 24-48 hours worldwide because DNS records are cached by ISPs and resolvers based on TTL (Time To Live) values. You can use our tool to check different DNS servers and monitor propagation progress.
