Live checker

DNS record checker

Look up a domain's live DNS records with their TTLs. Queries run from your browser against Cloudflare's resolver (1.1.1.1) over DNS-over-HTTPS — nothing passes through our server.

Record types:

What the records mean

A / AAAA
The IPv4 (A) and IPv6 (AAAA) addresses the domain points to.
CNAME
An alias pointing one name at another. A name with a CNAME can't also have other records, so a lookup for A often returns the CNAME plus the resolved address.
MX
Mail servers, each with a preference number — lower is tried first.
TXT
Free-form text, used for SPF, DKIM, domain verification and more. Long values are split into chunks at the protocol level; they're re-joined here.
NS
The authoritative name servers for the domain.
SOA
The "start of authority" — primary name server, admin contact and the zone's refresh/retry/expiry timers.
CAA
Which certificate authorities are allowed to issue certificates for the domain.

About TTL and propagation

TTL (time to live) is how many seconds a resolver may cache a record. After you change DNS, the old value can linger anywhere up to its previous TTL. This tool asks Cloudflare's resolver directly, so it reflects what 1.1.1.1 currently has cached — another resolver may still serve a stale answer until its own cache expires.
