Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS?
The Domain Name System (DNS) translates human-readable domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses (like 93.184.216.34) that computers use to connect to each other. It is often called the phonebook of the internet.
What are the different DNS record types?
A records map domains to IPv4 addresses. AAAA records map to IPv6. MX records specify mail servers. CNAME records create aliases. TXT records store arbitrary text (often used for SPF, DKIM, and domain verification). NS records specify authoritative name servers.
What is TTL?
TTL (Time to Live) is the number of seconds a DNS record should be cached before re-querying the authoritative server. Lower TTLs mean faster propagation of changes but more DNS queries.
Why do DNS changes take time to propagate?
DNS records are cached at multiple levels (browser, OS, ISP, recursive resolvers). Changes propagate as caches expire based on their TTL values. This can take minutes to 48 hours depending on the TTL settings.
