Tools and Diagnostics Center
30 tools built to solve everyday problems, from email delivery and DNS changes to hosting capacity and redirect rules. They run on real DNS and RDAP lookups or on calculations in your browser, separate definite problems, possible issues and unverifiable states, and suggest a fix for each finding. Your inputs are not added to the address bar and are not stored.
