How do I check DNS records for a domain?
Enter your domain name in the search field and select which DNS record types you want to check (A, MX, TXT, etc.). Click Lookup to retrieve all DNS records from Google or Cloudflare DNS servers.
What is the difference between A and AAAA records?
A records point to IPv4 addresses (like 93.184.216.34), while AAAA records point to IPv6 addresses (like 2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946). Most websites have A records, and many also have AAAA for IPv6 support.
How do I find the mail server for a domain?
Check the MX (Mail Exchange) records. These show which servers handle email for the domain. Lower priority numbers indicate preferred servers. For example, Gmail domains show multiple MX records pointing to Google mail servers.
What are TXT records used for?
TXT records store text information for various purposes: SPF records for email authentication, DKIM keys for email signing, domain verification for services like Google Workspace, and custom metadata.
How long do DNS changes take to propagate?
DNS propagation typically takes 24-48 hours for full global propagation. The actual time depends on the TTL (Time To Live) value of the records. Lower TTL means faster propagation but more DNS queries.
What is NS record and why is it important?
NS (Nameserver) records specify which DNS servers are authoritative for your domain. These are set at your domain registrar and tell the internet where to find your DNS records.
Is this DNS lookup tool free?
Yes, completely free with no limits. Lookup unlimited domains, all record types supported. No signup, no registration, no hidden costs.
Why use Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS?
Google DNS (8.8.8.8) and Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) are reliable, fast public DNS servers. They provide accurate, up-to-date records and are not affected by local ISP caching issues.
DNS lookups are performed via secure HTTPS connections. We do not log or store your domain queries.
