How it works
Queries go over DNS-over-HTTPS to Google's public resolver, just as any visitor's would. The TTL is how many seconds a resolver may cache the answer, so after a change it can take that long to show up everywhere.
How to use it, step by step
- Enter the domain and pick a record type, or leave it on All.
- We query public DNS servers and show each record with its value and TTL.
- Check where your site points (A, AAAA, CNAME), your mail (MX) and verifications (TXT).
- If something's off, fix it in your DNS provider's panel.
What it's useful for
- Confirm your site points to your new host.
- Verify mail settings after switching providers.
- Review verification records for Google, Microsoft and other services.
FAQ
Which record do I need to point my domain to a server?
An A record with the server's IPv4 (plus AAAA if it has IPv6) for the domain and another for www, or a CNAME from www to the main domain.
What is a CAA record?
It states which certificate authorities may issue SSL certificates for your domain. Without one, any authority can.
What's an A record?
It points your domain to your web server's IP address. AAAA does the same for IPv6.
What are MX records for?
They tell the world which servers receive your domain's email. If they're wrong, mail doesn't arrive.
What is TTL?
How many seconds other servers cache the answer before asking again. A low TTL makes changes show up sooner.
Why do I see a different value than I set?
Some servers still cache the old answer. Wait for the TTL to expire or check propagation.
What's a CNAME?
An alias: it points one name to another name instead of an IP, for example www to the main domain.
