Free DNS Propagation Checker
Check DNS propagation status worldwide and verify your DNS changes across global servers.
What is DNS Propagation?
DNS propagation is the time it takes for DNS changes to spread across the internet's global network of DNS servers. When you update DNS records, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours for all DNS servers worldwide to reflect the changes.

Troubleshoot Issues
Identify why your website or email might not be working correctly due to DNS propagation delays.
Monitor Progress
Track the progression of DNS changes across different geographic regions and DNS providers.
Planning Migrations
Plan website migrations or hosting changes by understanding propagation timelines in advance.
