A Record Checker FAQs
What is an A record?
An A (Address) record maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. It tells browsers which server IP address hosts the website.
Why is my website not loading even though I set an A record?
Possible reasons include:
Incorrect IP address
DNS propagation delay
Server not responding
Firewall blocking traffic
Wrong hosting configuration
How long does an A record change take to update?
Changes typically propagate globally within a few minutes to 48 hours, depending on DNS TTL settings and resolver caching.
Can a domain have multiple A records?
Yes. A domain can have multiple A records for load balancing or redundancy purposes.
What is the difference between A and CNAME records?
An A record points directly to an IP address.
A CNAME record points to another domain name instead of an IP address.
