# Check Your DNS Health Report With DNSHero.com

We use a lot of internal tools here at NameHero to help diagnose issues in our support desk.

One of the most common is looking at a website’s DNS records to see if anything is amiss.

Most often this will explain websites not resolving, emails not being delivered, etc.

Especially websites that are migrated over from other web hosts can contain old records that send everything into a fit creating a headache that can often appear to be a mystery.

Simply type in your domain and run a report and start looking for red or yellow results.

*Red* is almost always very bad and needs to be corrected as soon as possible. *Yellow* is a warning and can mean a potential problem exists.

*Green check marks* is what you want across the test results:
