DNS Checker
Navicosoft’s free DNS Checker helps you easily find a domain’s DNS records. This includes IP addresses, mail servers, name servers, and other key DNS details.
Enter your domain and check its DNS records for free.
What Navicosoft DNS Checker checks
The DNS Checker finds the DNS info linked to your domain or hostname. It shows the records for the chosen record type. This gives you a quick way to see how a domain is configured without using command line DNS tools.
So, depending on the record type available in the tool, you can check:
- A record that points a hostname to an IPv4 address
- AAAA records that point a hostname to an IPv6 address
- CNAME records CNAME records that connect one hostname to another hostname
- MX records that specify which mail servers receive email for a domain
- TXT records commonly used for domain verification and email related settings
- NS records that identify the authoritative name servers for a domain
- SOA records that provide key information about a DNS zone
DNS Lookup vs DNS Propagation
A DNS lookup shows the record information returned for a domain at the time of the check. On the other side, a DNS propagation check looks at responses from various DNS resolvers. It checks if a recent DNS change is showing up consistently.
If you’ve just changed your DNS settings, different results don’t always mean the record is wrong. Resolver caches and TTL values can affect when a new response is returned.
When should you use a DNS Checker?
A DNS checker can be useful when you:
- Point a domain to a new hosting server
- Move a website to another hosting provider
- Set up or change business email
- Add SPF, DKIM, DMARC, or verification records
- Change your domain’s name servers
- Configure a CNAME for a service or subdomain
- Check whether a DNS record is returning the expected value
- Troubleshoot a domain that is not resolving correctly
- Verify DNS settings before launching a website
