Questions
What do the record types mean?
A and AAAA give the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. CNAME says the name is an alias of another. MX lists the mail servers, with a priority (lower is tried first). NS names the servers that hold the domain’s records. TXT holds text, such as SPF and DKIM for email and site-verification codes. SOA describes the zone, CAA says which authorities may issue certificates, and SRV points to services like SIP or XMPP.
What is TTL?
Time to live: how long a resolver may keep the answer before asking again. After you change a record, resolvers that have the old one keep it until its TTL runs out. The DNS Propagation Checker compares several of them.
What does “DNSSEC validated” mean?
The resolver checked the records’ cryptographic signatures, so they haven’t been forged on the way. Only domains that sign their records can be validated.
Why is the answer different from my computer’s?
Your computer uses your provider’s resolver (or one you chose), which may hold an older answer until its TTL expires, or give different answers by region. Some companies also answer differently inside their own networks.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
