Free DNS Checker

See where a domain points, which servers handle its email and whether its SPF and DMARC records are set up.

Try it with

Free, no sign-up. Runs in your browser, so nothing you enter or upload is sent to our server.

How It Works

How to Use the DNS Checker

  1. Enter a domain name, for example yourbusiness.com.pk.
  2. Click Look up. We ask both Google and Cloudflare public DNS for every common record type.
  3. Compare the two answers to see whether a recent change has spread yet.
  4. Check the email section for SPF and DMARC, which help your emails avoid spam folders.

Why It Matters

DNS is the internet's address book. It tells browsers which server hosts your website (A and AAAA records), tells other mail servers where to deliver your email (MX records) and holds verification and security settings (TXT records). When you move hosting or set up business email, these are the records you change.

After a change, different DNS servers can show old and new answers for a while, usually from a few minutes up to 48 hours. This checker asks Google and Cloudflare directly from your browser so you can see if they agree. It also checks SPF and DMARC, which Gmail and Outlook now expect from businesses that send email.

FAQ

DNS Checker: Questions

How long does DNS take to update?
Most changes show within an hour, but they can take up to 48 hours depending on the TTL (time to live) set on the old record.
What is an MX record?
It tells other mail servers where to deliver email for your domain, for example Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or your hosting mail server.
What are SPF and DMARC?
SPF lists the servers allowed to send email for your domain. DMARC tells receivers what to do with email that fails the checks. Together they protect your domain from being used for spam and help your emails reach the inbox.
Is the lookup done by your server?
No. Your browser asks Google and Cloudflare public DNS directly, so nothing is sent to our server.
