About DNS Lookup

DNS records tell the internet where to find a domain's website, mail servers and other services. This tool queries live DNS records directly — useful for verifying propagation after changing name servers, confirming MX records for email, or checking TXT records used for domain verification and SPF/DKIM.

Common uses: verifying a DNS change has propagated before contacting support, checking MX records when email suddenly stops arriving, confirming a domain-verification TXT record was added correctly, and spotting a stale A record still pointing at an old server after a migration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see no records for a type?

Not every domain uses every record type — for example a domain with no email service simply has no MX records. That's expected, not an error.

I just changed my name servers — why don't I see the new records yet?

DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes up to 24–48 hours to fully propagate worldwide. Re-run the lookup periodically to track progress.
