One hostname per line. Add a type to override the default, for example example.com TXT.
Run DIG to see formatted results here.
Auto uses the domain's authoritative nameservers. Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, and OpenDNS query that resolver directly. Also checks SPF, DMARC, and common DKIM selectors.
Enter a domain and run Lookup.
Queries the same record from the DNS toolkit server and public resolvers in several locations. This is not the same as Multi DIG from one resolver. The first check can take a few seconds.
Enter a domain and check propagation.
This free DNS toolkit is for administrators, developers and site owners who need a quick, read-only view of public DNS. Run bulk DIG queries, a Smart DNS check, or a Global DNS propagation check, then copy or download the output. Nothing on this page changes records at your registrar or nameservers.
Use the toolkit for domains you own or are authorized to assess. Lookups are read-only and do not change records at your registrar or DNS host. Do not send automated traffic that interferes with the service.
Multi DIG is for several hostnames at once. Put one name per line. If you omit the record type, the dropdown value is used. Choose Auto or a specific public resolver, add a type override such as example.com TXT, then copy or download the output.
Smart DNS is for one domain. Auto asks the domain's authoritative nameservers first. Choose Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, or OpenDNS to query that resolver directly. Tick subdomains only when needed; WHOIS is optional because it can take longer.
Global DNS checks one hostname and type from the DNS toolkit server and from public resolvers in several locations. Each location queries Cloudflare, Google, Quad9, or OpenDNS. You can also compare those answers with the domain's own nameservers.
Typical uses include checking whether a new site has an A record, confirming MX before mail cutover, and verifying that SPF or DMARC TXT records published as planned. Results depend on public DNS and may differ from a private resolver until TTL expires.
Matches the record types in the tool dropdowns — what each abbreviation usually means.
A.SPF, DKIM, and DMARC are published as TXT records. They are not separate DNS types.
selector1._domainkey.example.com._dmarc.example.com.No. It only performs read-only lookups and displays what public resolvers return.
No. DNS and WHOIS data change, caches differ, and some providers omit answers. Confirm production changes with your DNS host or registrar.
Propagation, TTL caching, which resolver answered, or a record that was just updated can all produce different output.
It asks public resolvers from several locations. That is a cache view, not a list of every ISP. Authoritative nameservers remain the source of truth for whether the zone itself was updated.
Yes. All lookups on this site are free to use. There is no account and no charge for Multi DIG, Smart DNS, or Global DNS.
Yes. On smaller screens the query box and results stack so the tools stay usable.
This site provides read-only DNS lookups. To return a result and keep the service reliable, the server processes the hostname or domain you submit, the record type, the time of the request, your IP address, basic browser information, and operational logs.
Do not enter passwords, personal data, or other secrets in the query fields. Query text is treated as a DNS name, not as a message to us.
Lookups may be sent to public DNS resolvers. Optional WHOIS checks may be sent to registry or WHOIS services. Global DNS checks may also be sent to regional lookup probes so answers can be compared by location. Those providers receive only the query needed to answer the request.
A preference may be stored in your browser so this notice is not shown on every visit. Logs are kept only as long as needed for security, abuse prevention, and operations, then deleted or rotated.

The toolkit is provided free of charge, as is and as available. Results are informational. They are not a guarantee of completeness and are not a substitute for your own DNS, mail, or security review. Confirm production changes with your DNS host or registrar.
You may use the service for lawful, read-only lookups. You are responsible for having the right to query the names you submit. Do not use the service to interfere with availability, bypass rate limits, submit unlawful material, or run unauthorized bulk automation.
We may limit, suspend, or refuse access when needed to protect the service, other users, or upstream resolvers. We do not promise uninterrupted availability or that every resolver or region will answer.
