Common Questions
What are DNS records and why are they important?
Think of DNS records as the internet's address book. Just like you need a physical address to receive mail, websites need DNS records to tell computers where to find them. These records help translate human-friendly domain names (like example.com) into computer-friendly IP addresses, making the internet work smoothly for everyone.
What types of DNS records can I look up?
Our tool shows you all the important DNS records for any domain. You'll see A records (for IPv4 addresses), AAAA records (for IPv6), MX records (for email servers), NS records (for name servers), and more. It's like having a complete map of how a domain is connected to the internet.
How do I use the DNS lookup tool?
It's super simple! Just type in any domain name (like example.com) and click 'Lookup DNS'. Our tool will instantly show you all the DNS records associated with that domain. It's like looking up a business in a directory - you just need to know the name, and we'll show you all the important details.
What's the difference between A and AAAA records?
Think of A records as the older, more common type of address (like a regular phone number), while AAAA records are the newer, longer type (like a mobile number). A records are for IPv4 addresses (like 192.168.1.1), while AAAA records are for IPv6 addresses (the longer, newer format). Both tell computers where to find a website, just in different formats.
Why would I need to check DNS records?
There are many reasons! Website owners check them to make sure their site is properly configured, IT professionals use them to troubleshoot connection issues, and security teams verify that everything is set up correctly. It's like checking your home's address to make sure mail will be delivered correctly.
How often do DNS records change?
DNS records can change as often as needed, but they usually stay the same unless you're making specific changes to your website setup. Think of it like updating your business address - you only change it when you move or need to update your contact information. Some records might update automatically, while others require manual changes.
