   The best website so far, that provides detailed propagation results, compared to any other online similar tool. Highly recommended!

• GoDaddy stole my domain before I renewed it, can I do anything?

  If you do a WHOIS lookup on the domain (usually at lookup.icann.org), then it should tell you the current registrant. There should be an email address or a way of contacting the current registrant. You may need to also go to the registrar where it's currently registered to contact them. But it's an ICANN requirement/rule that there MUST be a way to contact the current registrant through email or a form. Source: 11 months ago

• How do I keep my domain name?

  Did you try doing a search on whois/lookup? Doing so, you will be able to see if your domain name is now handled by a different registrar. If that turns up no helpful results & the company you originally leased the domain name from was accredited by ICANN; it may be worthwhile to reach out on their support page. Source: 11 months ago

• Just got this in the mail

  If you follow some of the whois information from https://lookup.icann.org/ for the domain the email is associated with (www.yourconcernedfriends.org) you can find an address in Reykjavik. Googling that address shows MULTIPLE lawsuits and warnings about various scams. Source: 12 months ago

  In the future, you can use https://lookup.icann.org/ to check unfamiliar websites. If they're than a year old or registered for less than a year, those are red flags. Source: about 1 year ago

• Change nameservers from Wordpress.com to siteground, domain still pointing to old Wordpress.com website

  I've looked at my DNS settings on Siteground and can't really figure it out. It's been a couple hours since I made the nameserver switch and I checked on dnschecker.org if things have propagated - they have - except when you look at the PTR, it says Error: Invalid IP Address.

• Deploying a secured Node.js Application on AWS EC2 Instance from scratch (Detailed Guide)

  Check that your newly updated name servers have been propagated by checking your domain name on a DNS propagation check service like dnschecker.org (Propagation often takes some time so be a little patient). - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Have you recently switched webhost or started a new website?

  Check your website's DNS records and check if they are fully propagated or not? However, if you changed your hosting provider or registered a new domain? It will take 24 to 48 hours for the DNS servers to propagate correctly. Https://dnschecker.org/. Source: 10 months ago

• Netlify: DNS verification failed

  Put your domain name into https://dnschecker.org/ and see if the records that Netlify asked you to put in your DNS are actually showing up. You probably made a typo. For example, sometimes there is a full stop at the end of a record you might have missed. Source: 10 months ago

• Binding a dynmap address to a domain

  In this example, I'll show you how to direct example.com to your server IP. In your domain's DNS settings, create an A record with the name @. Set the TTL to 300 or 3600. Finally, type your server's IP address in the last field, and click Save. DNS changes take time to update, usually taking effect ("propagate") in a few minutes but they can sometimes take a day.
