DNS lookup

Enter a domain to see its A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS and CNAME records in one view.

Free, no signup. Up to 10 checks per hour.

What each DNS record does

DNS turns a domain name into the addresses and settings other servers need. Each record type answers a different question.

Where the site and mail go

A records hold IPv4 addresses and AAAA records hold IPv6 addresses. Browsers use them to reach the website.

MX records name the servers that receive email for the domain, with a priority number. The lowest number is tried first.

Who controls the domain

NS records list the nameservers that hold the domain's DNS. To change any record, you edit it at the provider those nameservers belong to.

The SOA record names the primary nameserver and timing values, including the serial number that goes up with each change.

Aliases and text records

A CNAME makes one name an alias of another, common for www, tracking domains and SaaS verification. It cannot sit on the root domain.

TXT records carry SPF, domain verification codes and other text. DKIM and DMARC records are TXT too, but they live on their own names, such as _dmarc.acme.com.

Need more than one check?

Warm up new mailboxes and watch SPF, DKIM, DMARC and blacklists for every inbox you connect. See Email Warmup

DNS Lookup FAQ

What is a DNS lookup?

A DNS lookup asks the domain name system for the records stored under a name. This tool asks public resolvers for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT and SOA records at once.

Why do I not see my DKIM or DMARC record?

They live on separate names: DMARC at _dmarc.yourdomain.com and DKIM at selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com. Use the DMARC and DKIM checkers, which know where to look.

How long do DNS changes take to show up?

Up to the record's TTL, the number of seconds resolvers may cache the old answer. That is often between five minutes and a day. New records usually appear within minutes.

What does "domain not found" mean?

The resolver returned NXDOMAIN, which means the name does not exist in DNS. The domain may be misspelled, expired, or not yet set up with nameservers.

Why does a subdomain have no NS or MX records?

Most subdomains do not need them. NS records sit at the top of a zone, and MX records only exist where a name receives mail.
