How to Identify Which Provider Is Authoritative for a Domain’s DNS

DNS changes fail or disappear when edits are made at a registrar or hosting panel that is not authoritative.

Checks to make

Query the domain’s nameserver delegation, compare it with account records, and inspect the zone served by those nameservers. Make changes at the active DNS host and verify authoritative answers before checking cached resolvers.

When to get help
