Global DNS - DNS Propagation Checker - WHOIS Lookup - WP - 7

Global DNS allows you to instantly check the DNS records across multiple servers. It provides an insight to end users on which server website is pointing to. It is also helpful to check the current DNS entries incase the DNS records are changed.

Features

Multiple DNS Record Types
You and your end users can check multiple types of DNS records like A, MX, NS, CNAME, TXT and much more. There are a total of 10 types of DNS records to check.

Multiple Servers
There is no limit on how many servers you can add, more the severs better the stats.

Dark Mode
Following current trend, Global DNS also has a Dark Mode. You can enable this from the Admin Dashboard in Global DNS Settings page. Based on which WP Editor you’re using, you also need to set the background colours accordingly.
