Select the DNS record whose propagation status you would like to check.
Choose from A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SRV, SOA, TXT, CAA, DS, and DNSKEY records.
Click “Search” to run the propagation check tool. The map displays green markers where the DNS record is active.
To add a custom DNS server or expected IP value, use our tool’s smart controls below.
How to Use the DNS Propagation Checker
Select DNS Record for Propagation Status Check:
Choose any of the following records:
A record: Contains the IPv4 address info of the hostname.
AAAA record: Contains the IPv6 address info.
CNAME record: Alias record pointing a sub-domain to its domain.
MX record: Contains info about email routing and mail server priority.
NS record: Shows the authoritative nameservers of a domain.
PTR record: Used in reverse IP lookup to map an IP to a domain name.
SRV record: Specifies the location/configuration of a service (e.g., VoIP).
SOA record: Holds information about the DNS zone’s authority.
TXT record: Used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC and other configurations.
CAA record: Specifies which authorities can issue certificates for a domain.
DS record: Maintains a chain of trust between DNS zones.
DNSKEY record: Contains public signing keys for DNSSEC.

How to Add a Custom DNS Server
Click the “+” button in our tool (if available) and enter the DNS Name, DNS IP, DNS Provider, and map coordinates.
How to Add Expected Value of IP Address
Use the smart controls to specify the expected value via regular expressions, number patterns, or an exact match.
DNS Lists & Filtering
Use our DNS Lists section to search by IP address, continent, or country to check propagation status.
What is Domain Name System (DNS)?
DNS is a hierarchical, decentralized system that maps domain names to IP addresses—like a phone book for the Internet.
What is DNS Resolution?
DNS resolution translates a domain name into its corresponding server IP address.
How does DNS Propagation work?
DNS propagation is the time it takes for DNS changes to update worldwide. It can take up to 48 hours.
Why might DNS changes take time to propagate?
Different ISPs cache DNS information for varying durations. Until the cache expires, some users may still see old DNS data.
What is DNS Failure?
DNS failure means the DNS server cannot convert a domain name to an IP address.
