Understand the basics (without the fluff)

Here are the DNS terms that matter most:

• Nameservers (NS): the DNS provider that answers queries for your domain.
• A record: points a hostname (like @ or www) to an IPv4 address.
• AAAA record: points a hostname to an IPv6 address.
• CNAME: points one hostname to another hostname (common for www).
• MX records: decide where your email is delivered.
• TTL: how long DNS answers are cached (higher TTL means slower changes).

Common problems and what they usually mean

• Website not loading after DNS change
• Usually: propagation delay, wrong records, or wrong target IP.
• Email stopped working after pointing the domain
• Usually: MX records were lost when changing nameservers.
• SSL won’t issue / HTTPS not working
• Usually: domain not resolving to the correct server yet.

DNS propagation reality check

DNS changes are not always instant. Some updates apply in minutes, others can take longer depending on TTL and caching. If you’ve just changed nameservers, it can take additional time for global resolvers to catch up.

Recommended path

If you’re setting up a new site, do it in this order:

1. Point your domain
2. Confirm your website loads
3. Then set up email: - Email setup - SPF, DKIM, DMARC
