About DNS records checking tool

This is a free tool that can be used to find DNS records for a domain. We all know that DNS, or Domain Name server, is a very important part of the internet. If you have used the wrong DNS data on your website, then it can affect the presence of your website on all the search engines. Wrong records are also going to create a big problem for the company’s infrastructure and network administrators. Once you know the DNS records of a domain name, you can check and see if this is the way they are supposed to be or not.

Even if you are not a server administrator, you can still use this DNS record checking tool. When you are not able to open a website or are having trouble accessing one, then this tool is going to help you in this regard. You can easily find the Internet Service Provider records using this tool and then compare this information with the authoritative DNS server of the target domain.

DNS Records Resources

There are different resource records available for a DNS server. Each DNS record performs a special function. The resources which you will find the most common are mentioned below.

Address Mapping Records

Address Mapping Records are also known as A and this record specifies the IPv4 address for the website. The purpose of A records is to convert domain names into their corresponding IP addresses.

IP Version 6 Address Records

IP Version 6 or AAAA is used for identifying the IPv6 address of a web host. AAAA works the same way as A record works, but the only difference here is you will find a different type of IP address here.

Canonical Name Records

Canonical Name Records or CNAME means the domain name has been queried so that it can resolve the real DNS query, and is used to create aliases of a domain name. When we want to alias a domain name to an external domain, then CNAME will provide better help. If you don’t want to use a domain which is not hosted by the same company, then you can simply remove CNAME records from a domain name and replace them with A records.

Host Information Records

HINFO or Host Information records, reveal information about the host. This record will show all the important data which is related to the web host. Host Information Records are not used on public servers for security reasons.

Integrated Services Digital Network Records

ISDN will record the ISDN address for a web host. With this code, you will be able to calculate the country code along with the national destination. Other details which you can get using the ISDN code are the ISDN sub address and subscriber number.
