What does your DNS actually return?
A misconfigured DNS record breaks mail, breaks verification, and sometimes breaks the site. This reads the records a resolver sees and reports what is there and what is missing.
Resolves public DNS records for the domain. Nothing is stored.
How this check works
Shipwork resolves the domain's A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS and TXT records, and surfaces the SPF and verification records among the TXT values. It reports missing A/AAAA, load-balanced addresses, CNAMEs, and whether the domain receives mail.
Questions
- What is the most common DNS problem?
- A missing or wrong record after a migration: mail stops, or a verification record is removed. This shows the records a resolver actually returns.
- What is a CNAME?
- An alias that points one name at another. Common for subdomains and third-party services; it cannot coexist with other records on the same name.
- Why does MX matter?
- MX records say where mail is delivered. No MX means the domain does not receive mail, which matters if you use it for support or orders.
