How can I check to see if DNS is working?

A frequent mistake is to use "ping" to test DNS. On Windows NT/2K and Unix, there are tools
called "nslookup" and "dig".
- Before you contact ZoneEdit, you can check to see whether or not your registrar is
pointing your domain to the correct nameservers. The "whois" information is often wrong, and
should not be used. Go to a command prompt/console and enter the command:

nslookup -type=NS yourdomainname.com
If the response does not contain all of the correct name servers, then you should contact
your registrar and have them fix it.
- To check to see whether a particular server is responding, you can add the server name:

nslookup www.yourdomainname.com ns1.zoneedit.com
If the response has a bunch of 'root-servers' that means the server does not know about the
domain name and is referring you elsewhere.
- To look for a certain record type, like the "MX" record or the "SOA" record, you can use
the parameter "-type=MX" or "-type=SOA".

nslookup -type=MX yourdomainname.com
- If you don't have access to "nslookup" or "dig", you can use our online DNS lookup tool
instead. It works for all domain names - not just zoneedit ones.

What is an "A" record?

An "A" record, also called an "address" record, ties a domain name to an IP address. If there is a server on the Internet that is configured to handle traffic for this domain, you can enter the name of the domain (like "www.ZoneEdit.com") and the IP address of the server (like "209.81.71.236"), and almost immediately, anyone surfing to that domain connects to the correct server.
 

What is an "MX" record?

"MX" ("Mail eXchanger") records are used to specify what server on the Internet is running e-mail software that is configured to handle e-mail for your domain. If you want your ISP to handle routing the e-mail for your domain to you, you need to specify the domain name or IP address of your ISP's mail server. In addition, you can specify the rank of each mail server when you have more than one. Make sure your ISP knows that you're using their servers to route your domain's email, or all your e-mail will "return to sender"!

If you want to use our servers instead of your ISP's, don't specify any "MX" records, just configure our simple MailForward service!
 

What is a "CNAME" record?

"CNAME" records, short for "Canonical Name", create an alias from a domain name to another. You could create an alias from "yahoo.mydomain.com" to "www.yahoo.com", and every reference to "yahoo.mydomain.com" would go to the other location, regardless how yahoo changed their IP addresses! Be careful, however; CNAMEs won't work everywhere. If you create an MX record, and the name used for the mail server was defined using a CNAME, you might lose e-mail!
