DNS Record Checker
Lookup all DNS records for any domain — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA and CAA. One-click copy for each record. Results fetched live from DNS servers.
What is a DNS record?+
A DNS (Domain Name System) record is an entry in a DNS zone file that maps a domain name to various types of information — most commonly an IP address (A record), but also mail servers (MX), verification strings (TXT), aliases (CNAME) and more.
What does each record type mean?+
A records map a domain to an IPv4 address. AAAA maps to IPv6. MX specifies mail servers. TXT stores arbitrary text (used for SPF, DKIM, domain verification). CNAME creates an alias pointing one name to another. NS lists the authoritative nameservers. SOA contains zone information.
Why might DNS records differ between lookups?+
DNS records are cached by resolvers for their TTL (time to live) period. Different DNS resolvers around the world may show different results during propagation after a change. This tool queries Google and Cloudflare DNS directly for the most current results.
How long does DNS propagation take?+
TTL values range from seconds to 48 hours. Most modern DNS configurations use low TTLs (300–3600 seconds) for important records. Full global propagation of a DNS change typically takes 1–24 hours.
