Start of Authority

SOA (Start of Authority) is a record in the Domain Name System (DNS) that contains information about a domain name's authoritative server. This information includes the domain name's name server, email address, and refresh, retry, expire, and minimum TTL values.

There are a few reasons why you might want to check your SOA record online. For example, you might want to check your SOA record to see if it is correct. If your SOA record is incorrect, it could prevent you from sending or receiving email or from accessing your domain name's website.

You might also want to check your SOA record to see if it has been changed. If your SOA record has been changed, it could be a sign that someone has hacked into your account or that your internet service provider has changed your SOA record.
