Does NexIP store check results?
The CMS stores technical check history in the database so administrators can analyze errors, load and tool usage.
Why can results differ from another service?
Checks run from the server where NexIP is installed. DNS, HTTP, SSL and Whois results can depend on network, cache, region and external service availability.
