A dns checker shows the DNS records that are live for a domain right now, the same records browsers and mail servers use to find it. Type in any domain and see its A records, MX records, TXT records and nameserver in one place, without a terminal or a dns lookup command.
How to use this dns checker
- Type the domain name into the box above, for example yoursite.com or a client’s domain.
- Click check and wait a few seconds while it looks up the domain’s records.
- Read the results below the box – A, MX, TXT and nameserver entries are grouped so you can scan them fast.
Why you’d check a domain’s DNS
- You moved hosting and want to confirm the A record now points to the new server.
- Mail from your domain is bouncing and you want to see if the MX records are set up correctly.
- You added a TXT record for SPF, DKIM or Google Search Console and want to confirm it has propagated.
- You’re about to buy or transfer a domain and want to see which nameserver it uses before you touch anything.
What you get in the results
The tool lists every record type it finds for the domain: A records (server address), MX records (where email goes), TXT records (used for verification and SPF or DKIM) and the nameserver the domain is delegated to. Everything is read live from public DNS at the moment you check, not from a cached copy.
Limits and tips
DNS changes can take a few hours to spread worldwide. If you just edited a record and it still shows the old value here, it likely hasn’t propagated everywhere yet – check again later. There’s no account, no watermark, and nothing you enter is kept: files are deleted within an hour and the check runs on our own servers.
Questions people ask
What does a dns checker actually check
It reads the public DNS records for a domain – A, MX, TXT and nameserver – and shows exactly what is live right now.
Why do my DNS records look different from what I set
New records take time to spread across the internet, often a few hours. If you changed something recently, check again later before assuming it failed.
What is an MX record for
MX records tell the internet which mail server handles email for a domain. If they’re wrong, mail sent to that domain bounces.
What is a nameserver
A nameserver is the server that holds a domain’s DNS records. Checking it shows who currently manages the domain’s DNS.
Why would I check a TXT record
TXT records prove ownership of a domain or set email rules like SPF and DKIM. Checking one confirms it has actually taken effect.
Is this dns checker free and do I need an account
Yes, it’s free, works without signing in, and adds no watermark. Whatever you check is deleted from our servers within an hour.
