Find DNS Records

About Find DNS records

Find DNS records is a Free DNS Lookup Tool provides a report on DNS records for a specified domain or hostname.

Find DNS records tool performs an authoritative DNS lookup and provides details about common resource record types for root server, TLD server and Nameserver information.

You're not sure the best place to start troubleshooting! This DNS Checkup tool locates DNS name record records for the domain that you enter. This tool can aid in diagnosing issues and determining whether the issue is rooted in your domain's name servers in the event that you are unable to retrieve the domain's name.

What is DNS lookup?

A domain has a number of records associated with it, a DNS server can be queried to determine the IP address of the primary domain (A record), mail servers (MX records), DNS servers (NS nameservers) and other items such as SPF records (TXT records).

Types of DNS Records:

• A record: Address record maps a hostname to a 32-bit IPv4 address.
• AAAA record: IPv6 address record maps a hostname to a 128-bit IPv6 address.
• CNAME record: Canonical name record is an alias of one name to another.
• MX record: Mail exchange record maps a domain name to a list of mail exchange servers for that domain.
• PTR record: Pointer record maps an IPv4 address to the canonical name for that host. Setting up a PTR record for a host name in the in-addr.arpa domain that corresponds to an IP address implements reverse DNS lookup for that address.
• NS record: Name server record maps a domain name to a list of DNS servers authoritative for that domain.
• SOA record Start of authority record specifies the DNS server providing authoritative information about an Internet domain.
• SRV record: It is a generalized service location record.
• TXT record: This record is used to implement the Sender Policy Framework.

How do I speed up DNS propagation?

There are methods to speed up the propagation process of DNS. One of them is to choose a reliable service like those that were mentioned earlier.
Another one is to increase propagation speed is to make sure that your DNS zone's TTL is at a very low level.
If you are moving your website and making DNS modifications, you'll want the DNS transition to be as quick as is possible.
You can change the TTL you are currently using and reduce the time needed before performing the migration. 600 (10 minutes) is an excellent TTL value. You must make the change within 24 hours in advance of the transfer. Ten minutes before you make your change. You could set it lower, down to sixty (1 min).
This setup has been proven to be effective in speeding up the propagation of DNS.
After this server delivers your traffic, you can return the TTL to its normal value.
