DNS Record Checker

How to Use the DNS Record Checker

1. Enter Domain: Type any domain name into the input field (e.g., "google.com", "faizankhichi.me"). Don't include "https://" or "www." — just the bare domain.
2. Check DNS: Click "Check DNS" or press Enter. The tool queries DNS servers and retrieves all available record types for that domain.
3. Review Records: Results are organized by record type — A (IPv4 addresses), AAAA (IPv6), CNAME (aliases), MX (mail servers), TXT (verification/SPF/DKIM), NS (nameservers), and more.
4. Copy Values: Each record value is displayed in a monospace card for easy reading and manual copying of IP addresses, MX priorities, or TXT verification strings.

Technical Overview & Use Cases

This tool queries a backend DNS resolver that performs recursive lookups across the DNS hierarchy (root servers → TLD servers → authoritative nameservers) to retrieve all record types for a given domain. Results include A records (IPv4 mapping), AAAA (IPv6), MX (mail exchange with priority), CNAME (canonical name aliases), TXT (SPF, DKIM, domain verification), NS (nameserver delegation), and SOA (zone authority). The resolver returns data from authoritative sources, not cached responses.

Real-world use cases:

• Domain migration verification: After changing hosting providers or CDN, verify that A/AAAA records point to the correct new IP addresses and propagation is complete.
• Email deliverability debugging: Check MX records, SPF (TXT), and DKIM entries to diagnose why emails are bouncing or landing in spam folders.
• SSL/Domain verification: Confirm that TXT records for domain ownership verification (Google Search Console, Let's Encrypt DNS-01 challenge, Cloudflare) are correctly published.

Privacy & Security Guarantee

This tool is part of the FAK LAB ecosystem, founded by Faizan Ahmad Khan Khichi. DNS lookups require a network request to resolve records (DNS is inherently a networked protocol). The query sends only the domain name you enter — no personal information, cookies, or browser data is transmitted. The lookup service does not log queries or store domain history. DNS records are public information by design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between A and AAAA records?

A records map a domain to an IPv4 address (e.g., 104.26.10.78 — 32-bit, ~4.3 billion possible addresses). AAAA records map to IPv6 addresses (e.g., 2606:4700:20::681a:a4e — 128-bit, virtually unlimited). Most domains have both for backward compatibility. Modern networks prefer IPv6 when available.

Why might I see different results than other DNS tools?

DNS responses can vary based on geographic location (GeoDNS/load balancing), caching TTL (Time To Live), and which recursive resolver is queried. This tool queries from a specific resolver location. Propagation of DNS changes takes 5 minutes to 48 hours depending on TTL values set by the domain owner.

What are TXT records used for?

TXT records hold arbitrary text and serve multiple purposes: SPF records (email sender authorization), DKIM signatures (email authentication), domain verification (proving ownership to Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare), and DMARC policies (email handling instructions). They're the Swiss Army knife of DNS.
