Query and Verify Domain DNS Records Online

The DNS Records Checker queries public Domain Name System (DNS) servers to inspect the active DNS configuration of any domain. Verify domain pointings, check mail server MX records, troubleshoot SPF and DKIM TXT records, and confirm nameserver propagation.

How to Check DNS Records

  1. Enter the domain name (e.g., example.com) without http:// or https://.
  2. Select the record type to inspect (ANY, A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA) or check all at once.
  3. Click Lookup DNS to query authoritative resolvers.
  4. Inspect the results table showing record host, type, TTL (Time to Live), and target IP or data string.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive Record Coverage: Checks A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), CNAME (Aliases), MX (Mail Exchange), TXT (SPF/DKIM/Verification), NS (Nameservers), and SOA (Start of Authority).
  • Email Deliverability Diagnostics: Quickly verify SPF, DKIM, and DMARC TXT records required to pass Google and Yahoo email authentication.
  • Fast Global Resolvers: Queries low-latency recursive DNS resolvers for up-to-the-minute record propagation status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why are my DNS changes not showing up immediately?

DNS records are cached by worldwide ISPs according to their TTL (Time to Live) setting. Propagation can take anywhere from a few minutes up to 24-48 hours depending on configured TTL values.

What DNS records are essential for website hosting?

At minimum, an A record pointing your domain to your server\'s IPv4 address and NS records pointing to your authoritative DNS provider (e.g. Cloudflare) are required.
