DNS Record Type Reference
Maps a domain name to its corresponding IPv4 address. The basic routing record of the internet.
Maps a domain name to its corresponding IPv6 address (the next-generation IP protocol).
Canonical Name record. Sets up an alias from one domain name to another domain (e.g. mapping www.example.com to example.com).
Mail Exchanger record. Specifies the mail servers responsible for receiving email sent to your domain.
Text record. Allows domain administrators to store descriptive text notes (used primarily for SPF, DKIM, and site verification).
Name Server record. Lists the nameservers that hold the authority over DNS configurations for your domain.
Monitor DNS changes and hijack attempts
Nameserver changes or incorrect TXT configurations can take your entire site offline or route emails to spammers. Pingzo tracks your records automatically, alerting you via WhatsApp immediately when configurations change.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS Propagation?
When you update a DNS record, it takes time for the changes to spread across the global network of resolver servers. This process (which can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours) is called DNS propagation.
Why does a query return no records?
A successful query that returns no records (typically logging an ENODATA code) means the domain exists, but does not have the specific record type you requested. For example, a domain may have A records but no CNAME or MX records.
