Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS cache?
DNS cache temporarily stores DNS records to speed up domain lookups. Cached information helps improve performance but may continue displaying outdated records until the cache expires.
Why should I refresh DNS cache?
Refreshing DNS information helps verify recent DNS updates after changing nameservers, IP addresses, or other DNS records. It is useful when troubleshooting website or email connectivity issues.
How long does DNS propagation take?
DNS propagation usually takes anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours. The exact timing depends on DNS record TTL values, internet service providers, and public DNS resolver cache refresh intervals.
Will refreshing DNS cache change my DNS records?
No. Refreshing or checking DNS cache does not modify your domain's DNS records. It simply helps retrieve and verify the latest publicly available DNS information.
What is the difference between DNS cache and DNS propagation?
DNS cache stores previously retrieved DNS records, while DNS propagation is the process of distributing updated DNS records across DNS servers worldwide after configuration changes.
Can I use Clear DNS Cache with other DomainScan tools?
Yes. Combine Clear DNS Cache with DNS Lookup, DNS Propagation Checker, DNS Delegation Checker, WHOIS Lookup, and Domain Location Lookup to verify DNS changes and troubleshoot domain configuration issues.
