How to Verify Your DNS Changes

Follow this manual to audit your zone health and track the propagation of your records across the global neural network.

Step 1: Monitoring the Record Ledger

The DNS Ledger displays all active records for your domain. Use the Status Column to ensure each record is correctly formatted. If a record is missing, use the "Re-sync Zone" button to force a reload from the server database.

Step 2: Understanding TTL (Time To Live)

Every record has a TTL value (typically 3600 seconds). This defines how long recursive DNS servers will cache your data. If you are planning a migration, we recommend lowering the TTL to 300 one day before the move.

Step 3: Verification Tools

To confirm that your DNS changes are live globally, use external auditing tools:

  • Google DNS Lookups: Verify how Google sees your records.
  • DNSChecker.org: Track propagation across multiple geographical regions.
CRITICAL AUDIT: If you delete a primary A Record, your website will go OFFLINE instantly. Always ensure you have a replacement record ready before deletion.
