DNS TXT Record Lookup - Check Text-Based DNS Records
Look up TXT records to verify domain ownership, check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC settings, and view all text-based DNS configurations for any domain.
Understanding This Tool
What It Does
Query TXT records for any domain to retrieve text data used for domain verification, security protocols, and configuration. TXT records hold miscellaneous text information associated with a domain.
Understanding the Results
- TXT Records: All text records associated with the domain
- Record Content: The actual text value of each record
- TTL: Time to live for the record
- Record Purpose: Identification of what the record is used for (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, verification, etc.)
Common Use Cases
- SPF Records: Verify Sender Policy Framework configuration for email authentication
- Domain Verification: Check verification records for Google, Microsoft, and other services
- DMARC Policy: View Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance settings
- Security Settings: Check domain security configurations
- API Documentation: Review TXT records containing service information
Pro Tips & Best Practices
- SPF Format: TXT records with 'v=spf1' define which servers can send email for the domain
- Multiple Records: A domain can have multiple TXT records for different purposes
- Character Limits: Individual TXT records are limited to 255 characters
