Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common DNS record types?

The most common DNS records are A (IPv4 address), AAAA (IPv6 address), MX (mail servers), CNAME (domain aliases), TXT (text information), and NS (nameservers). Each serves a specific purpose in domain configuration. For complete domain analysis, combine DNS lookup with WHOIS Lookup to verify ownership and SSL Certificate Checker to ensure secure connections.

How long does DNS propagation take?

DNS changes typically propagate within 24-48 hours, though many updates appear within minutes. Propagation time depends on TTL (Time To Live) values and DNS server caching. During migrations, verify your server's IP using our What is My IP tool and check accessibility with Port Scanner.

Why are my DNS records not updating?

DNS changes may not update immediately due to high TTL values, DNS server caching, or incorrect nameserver configuration. Verify your domain's nameservers are pointing to the correct DNS provider and check TTL settings. If hosting on VPS, ensure DNS is properly configured - explore our VPS benchmarks to find reliable hosting with good DNS infrastructure.

What DNS settings are important for VPS hosting?

Key DNS records for VPS include A records pointing to your server IP, MX records for email, SPF/DKIM/DMARC TXT records for email authentication, and CAA records for SSL certificate security. Proper DNS configuration is crucial for VPS performance. Compare DNS-optimized hosting options in our VPS provider comparisons or use our comparison tool to find the best solution.
