Check DNS records for any domain (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS) using the free tool from Superplural Link. Useful for setting up domains, email, and SSL certificates.
Every time you access a website, your browser performs a DNS query to find out which server that domain is hosted on. When something goes wrong, whether it's the website, email, or an SSL certificate, checking the DNS records is almost always the first step in the diagnosis.
\n \nThe free DNS lookup tool from Superplural Link shows all the records of any domain in seconds, without needing to install anything or use the command line.
\n \nWhat are DNS records
\n \nDNS records are like a list of addresses that indicate where each service of a domain is hosted. The most common types are:
\n \n-
\n
- A Record: points the domain to an IPv4 address (e.g., 93.184.216.34). It is the main record that connects the domain to the web server. \n
- AAAA Record: serves the same function as A, but for IPv6. \n
- CNAME Record: points a subdomain to another domain. Used for www, mail, and services like Superplural Link with a custom domain. \n
- MX Record: indicates which server receives the emails for the domain. When the email for a domain is not working, the MX is the first place to check. \n
- TXT Record: stores free text. Used for domain verification in Google, SPF (anti-spam), DMARC, and DKIM for emails. \n
- NS Record: indicates which name servers are responsible for the domain. \n
How to use the DNS tool from Superplural Link
\n \nAccess yourdomain.com/tools/dns-lookup, enter the domain you want to check (e.g., google.com), and select the type of record you want to query, or leave it on "all" to see everything at once. The result appears in less than a second.
\n \nWhen to use DNS lookup
\n \nSetting up a custom domain in services: When adding a custom domain in Superplural Link, Google Workspace, Cloudflare, or any other service, you need to create specific DNS records. After creating them, use the tool to confirm if the propagation has occurred.
\n \nDiagnosing email issues: If emails sent to a domain are not arriving, check the MX records. If they are incorrect or missing, the email will not work.
\n \nChecking DNS propagation: When you change the hosting server or update records, the change can take up to 48 hours to propagate worldwide. The tool shows the current status of the records.
\n \nChecking SPF and DMARC records: SPF and DMARC TXT records are essential to ensure your emails do not end up in spam. Check if they are configured correctly.
