🔍 DNS Checker
Look up any DNS record for any domain. Compare results from Google DNS and Cloudflare simultaneously.
Enter a domain name (e.g. google.com, mail.example.com). Strips http/https automatically.

Hide your DNS queries from your ISP
A VPN encrypts all traffic including DNS lookups — your ISP cannot see what sites you visit.
📋 A Record
Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. The most fundamental DNS record — it tells browsers which server to connect to.
📋 AAAA Record
Maps a domain to an IPv6 address. Increasingly important as IPv6 adoption grows globally.
📧 MX Record
Specifies which mail servers handle email for the domain. Priority values determine which server is tried first.
🌐 NS Record
Lists the authoritative nameservers for the domain. These servers hold the definitive DNS records.
📝 TXT Record
Stores text data for verification and security. Common uses include SPF (anti-spam), DKIM (email signing), and domain ownership verification.
🔀 CNAME Record
Creates an alias from one domain to another. Used for subdomains like www or for pointing to CDN/hosting providers.
⚙️ SOA Record
Start of Authority — contains administrative information about the domain including the primary nameserver, admin email, and serial number.
🔍 Why compare two DNS servers?
DNS propagation is not instant — Google DNS and Cloudflare may return different results during DNS changes. Mismatches indicate propagation is still in progress.
