More Information
What Is DNS (Domain Name Server)?
Every domain name is given a series of numbers known as an IP address — for example, the IP address for www.coolexample.com is 68.178.232.100. It's this number that your browser uses to locate a particular website. When you type a domain name into your browser, the DNS (Domain Name Server) looks through a huge database to find the IP address you requested and then directs your browser to the correct website content.

How long does it take for the DNS to propagate?

The amount of time taken for new records to be recognised by the relevant servers is also known as the propagation period. Propagation may take up to 48 hours for changes to be recognised.
What are DNS Records?
DNS Records are the individual records held on the Name Servers assigned to a domain name which specify where different traffic for the domain name should be directed. For example, if you have a website your domain names Name Servers should hold 'A' Records for both www.yourname.co.nz and yourname.co.nz (without the www) that point to the IP Address of the web server where your website resides.
How does a name server work?
When a domain name is entered into a Web browser, a name server looks through its records for that domain name and then points the browser to the server that contains the requested website.
Can I use the @ symbol in my DNS records?
No, you cannot. On some DNS systems, the @ symbol can be used instead of the actual domain name however the Freeparking DNS editor does not support the @ symbol.
