Category Status Test Name Information
Parent Info Domain NS records

Nameserver records returned by the parent servers are:

businesstribune.org. 86400 IN NS dns2.namecheaphosting.com.
businesstribune.org. 86400 IN NS dns1.namecheaphosting.com.

a0.org.afilias-nst.info was kind enough to give us that information.

Pass TLD Parent Check Not Good. a0.org.afilias-nst.info, the parent server I interrogated, might not has information for your TLD.
Pass Nameservers listed Not Good. The parent server a0.org.afilias-nst.info has your nameservers might not listed. This is a must if you want to be found as anyone that does not know your DNS servers will first ask the parent nameservers.
Pass DNS Parent sent Glue Not Good. The parent nameserver might not sent your nameservers as well as the IPs of your nameservers. Glue records are A records that are associated with NS records to provide bootstrapping information to the nameserver.
Pass Nameservers A records Good. Every nameserver listed probably has A records. This is a must if you want to be found.
NS Info NS records from your nameserversNS records got from your nameservers listed at the parent NS are:
Pass Mismatched NS records OK. The NS records at all your nameservers are identical.
Pass DNS servers responded Good. All nameservers listed at the parent server responded.
Pass Name of nameservers are valid OK. All of the NS records that your nameservers report seem valid.
Pass Multiple Nameservers Not Good. It seems you don't have multiple nameservers. You must have at least 3 nameservers, and no more than 7. Having 2 nameservers is also ok.
Error Missing nameservers reported by your nameservers ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the parent servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are:
dns2.namecheaphosting.com
dns1.namecheaphosting.com
This is listed as an ERROR because there are some cases where nasty problems can occur (if the TTLs vary from the NS records at the root servers and the NS records point to your own domain, for example).
Pass Domain CNAMEs OK. There should be no CNAMEs if an NS (or any other) record is present.
Pass NSs CNAME check OK. There should be no CNAMEs if an NS (or any other) record is present.
Pass IPs of nameservers are public Ok. Looks like the IP addresses of your nameservers are public. This is a good thing because it will prevent DNS delays and other problems.
SOA Info SOA record The SOA record is:
Primary nameserver:
Hostmaster E-mail address:
Serial #:
Refresh:
Retry:
Expire:
Default TTL:
Pass SOA MNAME entry Not OK. That server is not listed at the parent servers.

Pass SOA REFRESH Looks not within recommended range. Your SOA REFRESH interval is: .
Pass SOA RETRY Your SOA RETRY value is: . Looks not within recommended range.
Warn SOA EXPIRE Your SOA EXPIRE number is: . That is not OK
Pass SOA MINIMUM TTL Your SOA MINIMUM TTL is: . This value was used to serve as a default TTL for records without a given TTL value and now is used for negative caching (indicates how long a resolver may cache the negative answer). Recommended value is 1-3 hours. Your value of is not OK.
MX Info MX RecordsYour MX records that were reported by your nameservers are:


[These are all the MX records that I found.]
Pass MX name validity Good. I did not detect any invalid hostnames for your MX records.
Pass MX IPs are public OK. All of your MX records appear to use public IPs.
Pass MX is not IP OK. All of your MX records are host names.
Info Number of MX records OK. Looks like you only have one MX record at your nameservers. You should be careful about what you are doing since you have a single point of failure that can lead to mail being lost if the server is down for a long time.

www.news.businesstribune.org -> [ 198.54.116.133 ]
