DNS Lookup
Query A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, and CNAME records in real time for any domain.
Understanding DNS records
What each record type means and why it matters for your website.
What is an A record?
An A record maps a domain name to an IPv4 address — the fundamental record that points your domain to your web server. When a visitor types your domain in a browser, DNS resolves the A record to find the IP address of the server that hosts your website. Incorrect or stale A records are the most common cause of a site being unreachable after a server migration.
What are MX records and why do they matter?
MX (Mail Exchanger) records tell the internet which servers handle email for your domain. If your MX records are wrong or missing, incoming emails will bounce or go missing entirely. This is especially critical for Indian businesses that rely on email for customer communication — a broken MX record means customers cannot reach you and you cannot receive orders.
What is a TXT record used for?
TXT records store arbitrary text associated with your domain. They are used for domain ownership verification (Google Search Console, Microsoft 365), email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and other services that need to confirm you control a domain. An SPF TXT record is essential for preventing your emails from being marked as spam.
What is DNS propagation?
When you change a DNS record, the update does not reach every DNS server in the world instantly. Propagation is the process by which your new record spreads across global DNS resolvers. Depending on the TTL (Time to Live) of your old record, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours. Our DNS Lookup tool queries authoritative servers directly, so you can verify your new records are live.
