DNS Records Explained
This tool provides a direct interface to query DNS records (similar to the Linux dig command) without needing a terminal. It helps webmasters debug connectivity issues and verify domain settings.
A Record
Maps a domain to the physical IP address (IPv4) of the computer hosting that domain.
MX Record
Mail Exchange records direct email to a mail server. Crucial for email delivery.
TXT Record
Arbitrary text often used for domain ownership verification (Google, SPF, DKIM).
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS Propagation?
When you update DNS records, it takes time (from minutes to 48 hours) for the changes to update across the internet's servers worldwide. This delay is called propagation.
Why does the "Check Propagation" option take longer?
This feature queries multiple DNS servers located in different geographical regions (e.g., Google, Cloudflare, Quad9) to see if your new records have updated everywhere.
Is this tool safe?
Yes. Your queries are processed securely. We do not log the domains you look up.
