Check a domain’s DNS records
Look up the A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, CAA, and SOA records published for a domain.
Common DNS record types
Each record type serves a different part of website routing, email delivery, verification, or zone management.
- Website routing
- A and AAAA records route to IP addresses, while CNAME records create hostname aliases.
- Email & zone delegation
- MX records route email, while NS and SOA records identify the authoritative DNS zone.
- Verification and policy
- TXT records publish verification and email policy, while CAA records restrict certificate issuance.
