    Glue differs from the zone
    The addresses at the parent (glue) differ from the addresses in the zone: ns1.hearstnp.com (glue 98.129.228.70, zone 34.198.18.191); ns2.hearstnp.com (glue 98.129.228.71, zone 34.192.165.114). Update the glue at your registrar.
    #8
  • ✓ All names resolve #9
    Every nameserver name has an address and is not an alias.
  • ✓ Nameservers in different networks #10
    The nameservers are spread over 4 IPv4 /24s and 0 IPv6 /48s.
  • ✓ 2 autonomous systems #11
    The nameservers are spread over: AS14618 (AMAZON-AES - Amazon.com, Inc., US): 2 addresses; AS16509 (AMAZON-02 - Amazon.com, Inc., US): 4 addresses.
  • i
    All nameserver names under .com
    All nameserver names are under one TLD, so a problem with that TLD also makes the nameservers unreachable. Some operators use names under two TLDs for extra resilience.
    #12
  • !
    No IPv6
    None of the nameservers has an IPv6 address, so IPv6-only resolvers can't reach them.

Checks

  • ✓ TTLs within range #32
    TTLs: A 1h, MX 1h, NS 1d. The NS TTL at the parent is 2d and in the zone 1d; resolvers may use either.
  • ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33
    The zone apex has no CNAME record.
  • i
    Wildcard record
    A random name under the zone resolves, so there is a wildcard (*) record. Typos and non-existent hosts resolve too, which can confuse mail and certificate checks.
    #34
  • i
    No CAA records
    Without CAA records any certificate authority may issue certificates for this domain. A CAA record limits issuance to the CAs you use.
