Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What information is included in a DNS report?

A: A full DNS report typically includes A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, and TXT records, along with their values, TTL (Time To Live), and associated hostnames.

Q: Why is a DNS report useful?

A: It helps verify that your domain is pointing to the correct servers for your website, email, and other services. It's crucial for diagnosing downtime, email delivery failures, or certificate issues.

Q: What is TTL in DNS?

A: TTL (Time To Live) is a setting that tells caching DNS servers how long to store a DNS record before re-querying the authoritative nameservers. A lower TTL means changes propagate faster but can increase DNS query load.

Q: Can I use this to check for misconfigurations?

A: Yes, by comparing the output of this tool against your expected DNS settings (e.g., from your hosting provider), you can easily spot errors or discrepancies.
