DNS Checker

Check DNS records for any domain

What is DNS?

DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses. It's like a phonebook for the internet, helping browsers find websites.

Record Types

  • A: Maps domain to IPv4 address
  • MX: Mail server records
  • NS: Name server records
  • TXT: Text records (SPF, DKIM)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DNS propagation?

DNS propagation is the time it takes for DNS changes to spread across all servers worldwide, typically 24-48 hours.

Why are my DNS records not showing?

Records may not be configured, or DNS propagation may still be in progress. Try again after a few hours.

What is TTL?

TTL (Time To Live) determines how long DNS records are cached. Lower TTL means faster updates but more DNS queries.

💡 Pro Tips

  • • Use low TTL before making DNS changes for faster propagation
  • • Always verify MX records if you're having email delivery issues
  • • Check TXT records to troubleshoot SPF and DKIM email authentication
