What the heck is DNS?

So you picked the perfect domain, set-up your email, spent hours on your website or paid someone to design your site. But now things aren't working!  Your website isn't on the internet. Your email receives, but not sending.  And why did you get that SSL, your site still doesn't show HTTPS!  Relax, is all in the Magic of DNS.

Your domain name needs to points to your services thru DNS records, if these records aren't correct, nothing works.

• For your hosting to work, the @host record, need to point to your hosted IP address.
• For your Mail to work, your MX records need to point to your email provider, we use secureserver.net and CNames are used to set the type of mail. ie POP, or IMAP.
• For your SSL to work properly, a TXT records needs to hold a special code.

WARNING:  If we can't get to your domain's DNS or NameServers don't point to us (secureserver.net); We can not test your website, domain or SSL.
