With DNS monitoring, you can ensure that your domain name really does resolve to the correct IP address. To do this, you have to enter the domain name domain and the appropriate IP ip address. The check is only successful if we find the IP address ip you have stored after resolving the domain name domain. If we cannot resolve the IP or find another IP than the one you want, we will alert you as usual.

A “DNS Check” refers to verifying the Domain Name System (DNS) configuration for a specific domain. DNS is an essential part of the Internet Protocol that converts the human-readable domain name (e.g., www.example.com) into the corresponding IP address (e.g., 192.168.0.1). and vice versa. A DNS check can check various aspects of the DNS configuration to ensure that it is working correctly and optimally. Here are some of the main points taken into account during a DNS check:
Name server configuration: Checks whether the name servers registered for the domain are configured correctly. This includes checking the IP addresses of the name servers and their accessibility.
DNS entries (records): It is checked whether the various DNS entries for the domain are set up correctly. These include, for example, A records (IPv4 addresses), AAAA records (IPv6 addresses), MX records (mail servers), CNAME records (alias entries) and others.
TTL (Time to Live): Time to Live is a value in DNS that indicates how long DNS data should be stored in caches before being queried again. A DNS check can ensure that the TTL values are configured appropriately to ensure appropriate updating of the DNS data.
Reverse DNS records: Check whether reverse DNS records exist for the IP addresses. Reverse DNS is used to convert an IP address into a domain name.
Authoritative Name Servers: Verifying that the name servers considered authoritative for the domain are functioning properly and providing the updated information.
A DNS check is important to ensure that a domain's DNS configuration is correct to ensure smooth communication on the Internet. Errors in DNS configuration can lead to problems such as unreachable websites, email outages, and other network problems. There are various online tools and services that allow users to run a DNS check on a specific domain to ensure that its DNS configuration is correct.
