Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS propagation?
DNS propagation is distributing DNS record changes across DNS servers worldwide. It can take minutes to 48 hours for all servers to update after a change.
What are DNS records?
DNS records map domain names to IP addresses and other info. Common types: A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), MX (mail), NS (nameserver), TXT (text), CNAME (alias).
What is an A record?
An A record maps a domain to an IPv4 address. For example, example.com might point to 93.184.216.34.
What is an MX record?
An MX (Mail Exchange) record specifies the mail server for a domain. Lower priority values indicate higher priority mail servers.
What is an NS record?
An NS (Name Server) record identifies the authoritative DNS servers for a domain — the servers that hold official DNS records.
What is a CNAME record?
A CNAME (Canonical Name) maps one domain to another. Commonly used for subdomains like www or CDN integrations.
How long does DNS propagation take?
Typically minutes to a few hours. The 48-hour standard is outdated. TTL values on records determine update speed.
Is this DNS checker free?
Yes, completely free. It uses Google's DNS over HTTPS (DoH) service for instant, accurate DNS queries.
