Look them up

Enter a domain in the DNS Lookup to see all public records with their TTLs.

What each record does

A / AAAA: the website's server IP (IPv4/IPv6). CNAME: an alias to another name. MX: which servers receive email. TXT: verification codes plus SPF, DKIM and DMARC email security. NS: which company hosts your DNS. CAA: which authorities may issue SSL certificates.

Common fixes

Email not arriving? Check MX points to your provider. Domain verification failing? Make sure the TXT record is on the exact name the provider asked for. Website down after moving host? Compare the A record with the new server IP.

Why changes take time

Records are cached for their TTL – from minutes to a day. Lower the TTL a day before planned changes.
