Find DNS records
View and Analyze DNS Records for Any Domain.
How This Tool Works
The DNS Records Checker lets the user view the contents of a domain's Domain Name System (DNS) settings. To sum up, DNS records enable the modern Internet to function, due to the role it performs in translating human-conceivable domains, such as example.com, into IP addresses computers utilize in tracking their fellow machines across the network. This means that a server which houses a website should come up whenever someone keys in its name on the browser address bar.
In DNS, there is a wide range of record types, with each serving its purpose:
- A Record (Address Record): This type of record associates a domain with an IPv4 address.
- AAAA Record: Maps a domain to an IP address of the IPv6 type.
- MX Record (Mail Exchange): This record is used to route email traffic to the right mail server.
- CNAME Record: This record points to a domain from another domain.
- TXT Record: These are text details inside that may be used for verification, or security, such as SPF or DKIM.
- NS Record: The domain names of the authoritative name servers.
These records can be looked up with ease by using a DNS Records Checker whenever there are issues such as website downtime, email delivery problems, or misconfigurations in DNS. In general, it is a pretty useful tool for website administrators, network engineers, and all who deal with domain settings; it helps to create well-configured domains with good performance and security.
