About this tool

DNS records are the settings that make a domain work — where its website and mail live, which servers are authoritative, and what verification data it publishes. This tool queries the common record types for any domain: A and AAAA (IPv4 and IPv6 addresses), MX (mail servers), TXT (verification and policy records), NS (nameservers), CNAME (aliases) and SOA.

Seeing these records is essential for diagnosing why a site or email is not working, confirming that a DNS change has propagated, or checking a domain’s configuration. MX priorities, verification TXT entries and nameserver delegation are all readable at a glance.

Use it when setting up a domain, troubleshooting mail delivery, or verifying that records you changed are live. It queries current DNS, so it reflects what resolvers are actually returning.

Frequently asked questions

Which DNS record types can it look up?
A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME and SOA — covering addresses, mail servers, verification records, nameservers, aliases and zone metadata.
Why would I check a domain’s DNS records?
To diagnose website or email problems, confirm a DNS change has taken effect, or verify a domain’s configuration such as mail routing or ownership records.
What is an MX record?
It specifies the mail servers that receive email for a domain, with priorities. Checking it is key when diagnosing mail delivery.
How soon do DNS changes appear?
Changes propagate over time depending on record TTLs, so a recent edit may not show everywhere immediately. Re-checking confirms once it is live.
