Questions about the DNS Lookup
What are DNS records?
They are the settings that tell the internet where your website (A record) and email (MX records) live, and which company manages your domain (NS records).
I changed my DNS. Why do I still see the old records?
DNS changes can take from a few minutes to 48 hours to spread, depending on the TTL setting. Check again later.
Which records do I need for a website and email?
An A record for your domain (and www), MX records for email, and TXT records for SPF and DMARC so your emails don't go to spam.
Rather not do it yourself?
