Find DNS Records

Look up every DNS record type for a domain in one query — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME and SOA

About this tool

DNS records are the public instructions a domain publishes about itself — where its website and mail live, which other servers are authoritative for it, and various verification strings third parties ask you to add. This tool queries all the common record types for a domain at once and explains what each one means.

How to use:

Tips: if you're troubleshooting email delivery, check the MX and TXT (SPF/DKIM/DMARC often live in TXT) sections first. If a site recently moved hosts, NS and A records are the ones to check for propagation.

What is a TXT record used for?

TXT records hold arbitrary text — commonly used for domain ownership verification and email authentication standards like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.

What's the difference between NS and SOA records?

NS records list the nameservers authoritative for the domain; the SOA (Start of Authority) record holds administrative details about the zone itself, like its serial number and refresh timing.

Why would a domain have a CNAME but no A record at the root?

A CNAME aliases one name to another domain, which then resolves to an IP — so a subdomain can point to a CNAME instead of publishing its own A record directly. (Root domains generally can't use a CNAME.)

Can DNS changes take time to show up here?

Yes — DNS changes propagate gradually as caches expire (governed by each record's TTL), so a very recent change might not appear immediately everywhere, including in this tool.
