DNS Records Checker

 

what is DNS Records Checker?

A DNS (Domain Name System) Records Checker is a tool or service that allows you to query and examine the DNS records associated with a particular domain name. DNS is the system that translates human-friendly domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses that computers and servers use to locate each other on the internet. DNS records store various types of information about a domain, such as the IP addresses of the web server, mail server settings, and more.

A DNS Records Checker can provide information about the DNS records associated with a domain, helping you to troubleshoot issues, verify configurations, or gather information about a specific website or domain. Some common types of DNS records include:

  1. A (Address) Record: Maps a domain to an IPv4 address.
  2. AAAA (IPv6 Address) Record: Maps a domain to an IPv6 address.
  3. CNAME (Canonical Name) Record: Points one domain to another domain.
  4. MX (Mail Exchanger) Record: Specifies the mail servers responsible for receiving email for the domain.
  5. TXT (Text) Record: Stores arbitrary text data, often used for verification or authentication purposes.
  6. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) Record: Specifies which servers are authorized to send email on behalf of the domain.
  7. NS (Name Server) Record: Identifies the authoritative name servers for the domain.
