Checked in your browser, no account required. Monitor your DMARC posture continuously.
See plans →What this DNS lookup tool checks
Enter any domain and this tool queries live DNS to return all common record types in one shot. Useful for verifying SPF and DMARC TXT records, checking MX routing, confirming nameservers, or debugging CNAME chains without needing a terminal.
Record types returned
- A / AAAA:IPv4 and IPv6 addresses the domain resolves to
- MX:mail exchange servers and their priority values
- TXT:text records including SPF, DMARC, DKIM, and domain verification tokens
- NS:authoritative nameservers for the domain
- CNAME:canonical name alias if the domain is a CNAME
- SOA:start of authority record with the primary nameserver and zone serial
- CAA:certification authority authorization records controlling which CAs can issue certificates
Frequently asked questions
What record types does this tool show?
The lookup returns A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, and CAA records. These cover the most common use cases: email routing (MX), authentication (TXT for SPF/DMARC/DKIM), address resolution (A/AAAA), nameserver delegation (NS), aliasing (CNAME), zone authority (SOA), and certificate policy (CAA). Types that have no records for the queried domain are omitted from the result.
Why is a record missing from the results?
A record type only appears if at least one record exists. If you expect a TXT record (like an SPF or DMARC record) but it does not show up, the record either has not propagated yet (DNS TTL can delay visibility for minutes to hours after a change), was published on the wrong subdomain, or was deleted. For DMARC, check
_dmarc.yourdomain.com directly since it lives on a subdomain rather than the apex.How current are the results?
This tool performs a live DNS query each time you click Look up, so results reflect what the queried resolver sees right now. Results are not cached by this page. Keep in mind that DNS propagation is not instantaneous: changes you make to your DNS configuration may take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to be visible everywhere depending on your TTL settings.
Is this tool free?
Yes, the DNS lookup tool is completely free and requires no account or signup. It queries a public DNS resolver and returns the raw records directly.
Need to monitor your DMARC and SPF records over time?
DMARCdrift tracks your DNS configuration continuously and alerts you when records change unexpectedly, so you catch misconfigurations before they affect deliverability.
