DNS Checker
Enter a domain
DNS records are the phone book of the internet, mapping your domain to servers for websites, email and verification. A wrong record can take a service offline.
Review the DNS records
The tool looks up the core record types A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS and SOA, over secure DNS-over-HTTPS and lists the current values for each.

What Is a DNS Checker?
A DNS Checker is a free tool that allows you to quickly and easily query the DNS records of a domain. DNS ensures that domain names are correctly connected to web servers, email services, and other digital systems. Errors in these records may prevent a website from loading, cause email delivery failures, or disrupt domain verification processes. With Kriko DNS Checker, you can review the current DNS configuration of your domain on a single screen and identify potential issues more easily.
How to Check DNS Records
Enter the domain name you want to check in the relevant field and start the query. The tool checks the main DNS records of the domain through a secure DNS-over-HTTPS connection and lists the current values it retrieves. By reviewing the results, you can see which IP address the domain points to, how the email servers are configured, and whether the authoritative name servers have been set up correctly.
Which DNS Records Can You View?
The DNS Checker tool queries A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, and SOA records. A and AAAA records connect a domain name to IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. CNAME records direct one domain name to another. MX records show which servers manage email traffic, while TXT records contain text-based information used for domain verification, security, and email policies. NS records display the authoritative name servers of the domain, while the SOA record provides essential administrative information about the DNS zone.
Why Is DNS Checking Important?
The current configuration should be checked whenever a new website is launched, a server is changed, an email service is set up, or DNS records are updated. An incorrect IP address, a missing MX record, or a misconfigured CNAME record can directly affect the operation of digital services. Regular DNS checks help you identify the source of technical issues more quickly and detect configuration errors before they develop into larger problems.
Kriko DNS Checker is free to use and does not require registration. Enter the domain name you want to query to check its DNS records within seconds, compare the current values, and access the accurate information needed for technical updates.
