About Find DNS records

What Is a DNS Records Lookup?

DNS records control how a domain routes traffic and email — A records point to a server's IP, MX records handle email delivery, TXT records handle verification and authentication (like SPF/DKIM), and more. This tool looks up all of a domain's published DNS records in one place.

How Our DNS Records Tool Works

Enter a domain, and the tool queries public DNS servers for every common record type, then displays the full results grouped by record type.

How to Use It

Enter the domain you want to check
Click Find Records
Review the returned A, MX, TXT, CNAME, and other records

Key Features

All major record types — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, and more
Useful for email auth verification — confirm SPF/DKIM/DMARC TXT records are published correctly
Instant results — no need to run manual dig/nslookup commands

Who Uses This Tool

Developers and sysadmins verify DNS changes have propagated correctly. Email deliverability specialists confirm SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are set up properly. Site owners troubleshoot email or domain routing issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't I see my DNS change reflected yet?
DNS changes can take anywhere from minutes to 48 hours to fully propagate depending on TTL settings and caching along the way.

Is this tool free?
Yes, looking up DNS records is completely free.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between A and AAAA records?

An A record points a domain to an IPv4 address. An AAAA record does the same for IPv6. Most domains have an A record; AAAA is optional and only present if the host supports IPv6.

Why do I see multiple TXT records?

TXT records serve many purposes at once — SPF, domain verification for services like Google or Facebook, and other arbitrary key-value data can all coexist as separate TXT entries on the same domain.

Where's my DKIM or DMARC record?

DMARC lives at a subdomain (_dmarc.yourdomain.com) and DKIM at a selector-specific subdomain (selector._domainkey.yourdomain.com) — neither shows up in a lookup of the bare domain. Use the SPF, DKIM & DMARC Checker to check those directly.

What is an SOA record?

The Start of Authority record holds zone-level metadata — the primary nameserver, admin contact, and timing values that control how often secondary nameservers refresh their copy of the zone.

Why don't I see any records right after a DNS change?

DNS changes take time to propagate globally, from minutes to up to 48 hours depending on your provider and the record's TTL. This tool queries live DNS, so results reflect whatever has propagated to the resolver used at query time.

Can I look up records for a subdomain?

Yes — enter the subdomain directly (e.g. mail.example.com) just as you would a root domain.
