See where your DNS has landed — worldwide.
Check a domain's current IP address and DNS records against nameservers in 22 locations around the world, and watch how far the change has propagated.
When you change a DNS record — pointing a domain to a new host, updating an A record, or changing your nameservers — the update does not reach the entire internet at once. It spreads gradually from server to server in a process called DNS propagation, which can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24-48 hours to complete worldwide. Until it finishes, some visitors see the old record and some see the new one.
Our free DNS propagation checker queries your domain against DNS resolvers in 22 locations around the world and shows you, location by location, whether the new record has taken effect yet. It is the fastest way to answer the question every website owner asks after a change: "is it live yet?"
A DNS propagation checker queries a domain against DNS resolvers in many locations worldwide to show whether a recent DNS change has taken effect everywhere yet. Propagation can take up to 24-48 hours to complete globally.
DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24-48 hours to propagate fully across the internet, depending on the TTL of the record and the caching of resolvers worldwide.
