How it works
A test query for flag propagation check, done right
Most checkers query a single resolver or a set of geographically labelled servers behind the same anycast network. isPropagated queries genuinely independent DNS operators and compares both their records and their response flags.
Enter a domain and run the test query
Type any domain, pick a record type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS and more), then run a single test query that fans out to every network at once.
We query independent global networks
Instead of asking one resolver, we ask several unaffiliated public DNS networks in parallel — across North America, Europe and Asia — so no single cache can mislead you.
Compare records and DNS flags
Each network returns its answer plus the DNS response flags (AD, CD, RA, RD, TC). We check that both the records and the flags agree before calling a domain propagated.
Read the propagation verdict
A clear consensus score shows how many networks resolved the record and whether their answers match — so you know the moment a change is live everywhere.
How DNS propagation works for Name.com domains
Name.com is a domain registrar and web hosting provider. When you add, update, or delete a DNS record through Name.com, the change is applied to Name.com's authoritative nameservers immediately. However, resolvers around the world that have cached the previous record will not see the update until their cached copy expires — a period determined by the record's TTL (Time to Live).
Name.com uses a default TTL of 300 seconds (5 minutes) for DNS records managed on its platform, making it one of the faster providers for propagation. Changes typically reach global resolvers within 15–30 minutes.
To monitor propagation in real time, enter your domain in the tool above and select the record type you changed. The check queries 7 genuinely independent DNS networks — not just geographically labelled servers behind the same infrastructure — and shows you exactly which resolvers have picked up the new value and which are still serving the old one.
Name.com DNS management and common propagation issues
DNS records are managed in the Name.com account under My Domains → [your domain] → Manage DNS Records. Name.com supports all standard record types and allows TTL customization.
Name.com's low default TTL is generally an advantage, but it means high query volumes on busy domains as resolvers re-query more frequently. For stable, production domains, consider raising the TTL to 3600 after confirming DNS is correct.
FAQ
Common questions about name.com dns propagation checker
How do I check DNS propagation for my Name.com domain?
Enter your domain in the input above and select the record type you changed (usually A for host changes, MX for email changes, TXT for SPF/DKIM). Run the test query to see what all 7 independent resolvers currently return. When they all agree on the new value, propagation is complete.
Why is my Name.com DNS change not propagating?
The most common reasons are: the TTL on the previous record has not expired yet (resolvers cache the old value until then), the record was saved with an error in the value or hostname, or the change was made to the wrong zone (for example, editing records in Name.com when nameservers point elsewhere). Confirm the record is correct in the Name.com dashboard, then re-check with this tool after the TTL expires.
How long should I wait before assuming DNS propagation failed?
Wait at least one full TTL cycle beyond when you made the change. For a 3600-second TTL, that means at least 1 hour after saving. If records still differ across resolvers after two full TTL cycles, investigate the DNS configuration at the source rather than waiting longer.
Does this checker show DNS propagation from different countries?
Yes. isPropagated queries 7 independent resolvers operated by different organizations across North America (Google), Europe (AdGuard, DNS.SB), and Asia (Alibaba DNS, DNSPod). When all return the same value, your Name.com DNS change is live worldwide — not just in one region.
