Frequently Asked Questions

What is an MX Record?

An MX (Mail Exchanger) record is a DNS record that specifies which mail servers are responsible for receiving email on behalf of your domain. It includes a priority value that determines the order in which mail servers should be used.

How do I check my domain's MX records?

Simply enter your domain name (e.g., example.com) in the input field above and click 'Check MX Records'. Our tool will display all MX records associated with your domain, including their priorities, hostnames, and IP addresses.

What does the MX priority (preference) number mean?

The MX priority number determines the order in which mail servers are used. Lower numbers have higher priority. For example, a server with priority 10 will be tried before a server with priority 20. This allows for backup mail servers in case the primary server is unavailable.

Why do I need multiple MX records?

Multiple MX records provide redundancy for your email system. If your primary mail server fails or is unavailable, email can be delivered to backup servers, ensuring continuous email service for your domain.
