Tips and common questions
Why don't my new DNS changes show?
DNS changes can take from a few minutes to 48 hours to spread. The TTL tells you roughly how long old answers are cached.
Which record controls my email?
MX records say which server receives email. SPF, DKIM and DMARC (in TXT records) help stop your mail going to spam.
What is TTL?
Time To Live is how many seconds other computers may remember a record before asking again.
Privacy
Lookups go from your browser straight to Cloudflare's public DNS (1.1.1.1). They do not pass through the Wivrix server.
