What is DNS?
DNS is the Domain Name System. It is a hierarchical and decentralized naming system for computers, services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network. DNS translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses, allowing computers to locate and communicate with each other on the internet.
More infoWhy does the result say something different that what I see in my DNS records?
The DNS checker is a tool that checks your DNS live records. If the records you have filled in on your registrar are not the onces showing up, it means that the records have not "propagated" yet. This usually takes a few minutes to a few hours and can take up to 72 hours.

A CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps a domain name to another domain name. It is used to redirect traffic to the correct server and ensure that websites load correctly.
