02Questions about this tool
What is an A record?
The A record is the IPv4 address of the server that hosts your website. When you move hosting, this is the record that changes.
What is an MX record?
MX records tell the world which server receives email for your domain. Wrong MX records mean lost email.
My records changed but the tool shows old values. Why?
DNS changes spread across the world in stages. Most updates show within an hour, some take up to 24 hours. Use the DNS propagation checker to see the status from different countries.
Can I check a subdomain?
Yes. Type the full name, for example mail.yourbusiness.pk or shop.example.com.
