What is DNS Checker?

DNS Checker looks up A, MX, CNAME, TXT and other DNS records from dozens of public DNS servers worldwide, so you can see whether a change has spread. The site also has free tools for reverse lookups, MX checks, IP details and more, supported by ads.

Pros: what DNS Checker does well

  • Global view of DNS records
  • Many free network tools
  • No sign-up

Cons: where it falls short

  • Ads on the page
  • Results are a snapshot, not monitoring

Who DNS Checker is for

Site owners and developers changing domains, email or hosting settings.

Who can skip it
