MX record is a mail exchanger record that exists as a type of resource record in your domain DNS record. This record is to specify a mail sever responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a recipient’s domain. It has a priority value to prioritize the mail delivery if you are operating with multiple mail servers.

CNAME record or a Canonical Name record is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS). CNAME record is used to specify that a domain name is an alias for another domain. For example, if you have a server where you maintain an online blog, you can specify blog.myprimarydomain.com to myblogdomain.com

Normally DNS record update will require 24 to 48 hours to be fully propagated through the internet. Sometime it will be lesser time required depends on the value of TTL set before the DNS information is refreshed. With GetYour.iD, we are setting the value of TTL is one hour.

TTL stands for Time to Live that indicates how long it will take before the DNS information is refreshed. This time to live is defined in seconds and it is available on your DNS zone record. Generally, DNS propagation takes 24 to 48 hours to complete whenever any changes are made to your domain DNS zone file. The lower the TTL value, the lesser time for your DNS to be fully propagated throughout the internet world.
