Domain DNS Records Check

Domain DNS Records Check

For PTR, enter an IPv4 address (for example: 8.8.8.8).
ANY — to output all available DNS data. DS / DNSKEY — for DNSSEC verification.

This tool provides a fast online check of a domain’s DNS records. You can view A, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA and other DNS record types, as well as see how the DNS zone responds to real DNS queries. The service works as a convenient DNS Lookup / NSLookup tool, helping diagnose issues with mail, hosting configuration, and DNS servers.

Frequently Asked Questions About DNS Checking

  • What is DNS checking?

    DNS checking is the process of obtaining actual responses from DNS servers for a domain. It allows you to see current A, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA and PTR records. This tool displays uncached data and helps ensure that the DNS zone is working correctly.

  • How is DNS Lookup different from NSLookup?

    DNS Lookup is an online DNS records check directly in the browser. NSLookup is a console utility performing the same queries but requires command line access. Our tool combines both: browser convenience and command-line accuracy, enabling DNS record checking without extra software.

  • Which records can be checked?

    The tool supports A record checking (IP), MX record checking (mail), CNAME record checking (aliases), TXT record checking (SPF, DKIM and verification), and PTR record checking for reverse DNS. It’s a complete set of DNS diagnostic tools.

  • Why do DNS records differ from my control panel?

    The most common reason is TTL propagation. After DNS changes are made, servers require time to update responses. This tool shows direct dns lookup results, bypassing outdated caches — so you see the actual DNS server response.

  • Why is DNS record checking important?

    DNS record checking helps detect configuration errors, mail delivery issues, SSL problems, redirect conflicts, and website availability failures. It is one of the fastest ways to diagnose technical issues related to hosting or a DNS zone.

  • Can this tool be used for technical diagnostics?

    Yes. With precisely structured data, the tool is suitable for diagnosing any DNS configuration — from basic A records to advanced mail settings or reverse DNS issues. It helps you quickly perform a domain DNS check and identify the cause of problems without external tools or console utilities.
