DNS Check monitors 14 DNS record types, including MX, TXT, HTTPS and SVCB, not just the records that resolve your site's IP address. Run it on its own, or alongside the uptime monitoring you already have. Alerts go to the services your team already uses.

DNS Record Types
Every record type is available on every plan. Plans differ in how many records you can monitor, not which types.
| DNS Record Type | Description |
|---|---|
| A records | Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. |
| AAAA records | Maps a domain name to an IPv6 address. |
| ALIAS records | Points one record at another record of the same type, without the intermediate lookup a CNAME needs. Also called an ANAME record. |
| CAA records | Specifies which certificate authorities are permitted to issue TLS/SSL certificates for a domain. |
| CNAME records | Aliases one domain name to another. |
| HTTPS records | Tells browsers how to reach a website, including the protocols, port, and address hints to use before connecting. |
| MX records | Directs email for a domain to the correct mail server. |
| NS records | Delegates a domain to the authoritative name servers that answer queries for it. |
| PTR records | Maps an IP address back to a domain name, which is known as reverse DNS. |
| SOA records | Defines the global parameters for a DNS zone, such as its primary name server and serial number. |
| SPF records | Carries a Sender Policy Framework policy in the legacy SPF resource record type, which RFC 7208 replaced with TXT. |
| SRV records | Gives the host and port of the server providing a specific service and protocol. |
| SVCB records | Advertises the connection parameters for a service, letting clients reach an alternative endpoint with the right transport settings. |
| TXT records | Holds arbitrary text, used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and domain ownership verification. |
