Table: namecheap_domain_host - Query Namecheap Domain Hosts using SQL

Namecheap Domain Hosts is a resource within the Namecheap domain registration and management service that allows users to manage and configure host records for their domains. These host records, also known as DNS records, are essential for directing internet traffic to the correct servers and services associated with a domain. As such, they play a crucial role in domain name resolution, website hosting, email delivery, and other domain-related functions.

Table Usage Guide

The namecheap_domain_host table provides insights into the DNS host records configured for domains within the Namecheap service. As a system administrator or DevOps engineer, explore host record-specific details through this table, including the associated domain, record type, address, and TTL (Time to Live) values. Utilize it to monitor and manage DNS configurations, ensure proper domain name resolution, and maintain the overall health and performance of your domains.
