What it checks

Whether the domain publishes A or AAAA records, so that it serves a website at its own name. A domain with none is noted, and the web, TLS and exposure checks are skipped for it.

A pass means: The domain publishes address records.

Possible findings

Domain has no address records

Severity: InformationConfidence: ConfirmedKind: Informational

What we found

The domain has no A or AAAA records, so it does not serve a website at this name.

Why it matters

This is often intentional, for example for a domain used only for email. Web, TLS and exposure checks are skipped for names with no addresses.

How to fix it

No action is needed if the domain is not meant to serve a website. Otherwise add A and/or AAAA records at your DNS provider.
