DNS Checker

Global DNS Checker helps you check the propagation status of different countries servers. You can check different types of DNS records: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SRV, SOA, TXT, CAA, DS and more.

DNS Propagation Map

DNS Checker is useful tool to verify domain name system (DNS) records for a website or server. You can Resolve domain issues, verify dns records, troubleshoot network problem and much more.

DNS Checker - How to check DNS Propagation for free?

Use our free tool to look DNS propagation of any domain or ip address. We have developed a testing tool which you can use to check DNS status from 100+ DNS servers from all over the world. By using the tool you can see immediately what is the propagation status and possibly troubleshoot errors.

You can also see a visual representation of your global DNS reach. You may see that some of the datacenters pick the DNS changes faster than others.

Here is how you can use this free DNS checker to test current status. Remember that sometimes propagation take up to 48 hours before changes are seen, but usually in the first 15 minutes.

Insert domain or ip address which you want to use for the DNS propagation test

You can choose any domain or ip address to start performing DNS testing.

Choose what DNS record you want to check

There are multiple different type of DNS records. With our tool you can test each one of them:

A record: is the IPv4 address info of the host.

AAAA record: is the IPv6 address info of the host.

CNAME record: is a so called alias record which points the sub-domain to its domain. (from www to non-www)

MX record: contains all info beloning to that hosts email activities such as mail servers. (where should emails be routed)

NS record: is the nameserver record which provides information about hosts authoritative nameservers. (for example ns1. and ns2.)

PTR record: is a record used in reverse IP lookup to map the ip address to a domain name. This enables identification of the host.

SRV record: gives information about location and configuration of a service such as VoIP to allow clients connect to a right server.

SOA record: this record holds the information about specifying the information about the dns zone.

TXT record: is the most commonly used DNS record of all to set for example SPF, DKIM or DMARC records for stronger identification of authority.

CAA record: is used to help validate SSL by showing which authoroties can issue certificates for a domain.

DS record: is a delegation signer, which holds the trust between parent and child zone.

DNSKEY record: this record conatins all public signing keys like Zone Signing Key (ZSK) and Key Signing Key (KSK)

Start fast DNS propagation

Now once you have choosen the host and the record you want to check you can click on "Check" button. The testing will take a few seconds and you will see the results start to come in. This may take up to 1 minute.

The propagation status is ether success or no result. Red mark indicates that the result was failed and green that it was success. Until then the server locations will be marked yellow.

Once the results come and if they are succesfull the data is displayed in the corresponding section of the data center.

Troubleshooting:

Here's quick troubleshooting guide for common DNS issues:

DNS propagation Delays

Wait for propagation to occur (it can take up to 24 - 48 hours). Use this global DNS checker to monitor updates. You can try to reduce TTL (time-to-live) vales before making changes to speed up propagation.

Incorrect DNS records

Double check that you are using correct DNS records. First use this tool to check possible problems of most important records and make sure that they match intended values.

DNS server downtime

If you are seeing sudden downtime on DNS server try using public DNS providers like Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) temporarily. See if it fixes your isses.

slow DNS resolution

Easy fix: Change to a faster DNS resolver such as (Google, Cloudflare or Quad9). Run "nslookup" or "dig" to test query speeds.

DNS cache issues

Easy fix: Flush the DNS cache. You can also try to clear your browser cache because caching can happen on multiple levels, such as in browsers.

IP address not changing / updating

If you have updated your host but you cant see changes yet in A / AAAA records try pining "ping" or do "tracert" to check connectivity of the domain. Otherwise it is probably the propagation that is taking time.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can think of the Domain Name System as internet's address book. It translates ip addresses and domain names so that its easy to use for both parties the computers and humans.

DNS checker are tools that are used to test, troubleshoot and verify DNS records for hosts (websites, servers, email services and other solutions).

DNS propagation refers to the time it takes for DNS record changes to be update and spread accross different datacenter around the world. Usually it takes few minutes but can take up to 48 hours to see updates worldwide.
