Who uses this DNS checker and why
Whether you are migrating hosting, verifying DNS after a domain change, or troubleshooting broken email — this tool is built around the problems Indian webmasters actually face.
Your website is showing the old host after migration. Check if DNS has propagated in India and see which resolver still shows the old IP.
Verify DNS changes after hosting migration. Check A, CNAME, MX, and TXT records before handing a project to the client.
Manage multiple client domains. Verify DNS propagation for each migration with a Mumbai-specific view clients can understand.
Troubleshoot corporate domain issues. Verify MX records for business email, check SPF/DKIM TXT records, validate NS delegation.
Email not working after DNS change India? Check MX record propagation from Mumbai to see if Indian mail servers can reach your new provider.
Migrating from Bluehost to Hostinger, or BigRock to MilesWeb? Verify nameservers have updated and your new hosting is live in India.
Architecture
How this India DNS server check works
Most DNS checkers call a generic API from a European server and label results as “global.” This tool queries via Mumbai infrastructure and shows you what Indian users actually see.
Enter your domain
Enter any domain (e.g. yourbusiness.com or example.in) without www or https. Select the record type — A for website IP, MX for email, NS for nameservers, TXT for SPF/DKIM.
India panel — DNS checker from Mumbai
Your query reaches our Hostinger Mumbai infrastructure. From there we call Google DNS and Cloudflare via DNS-over-HTTPS in parallel. Because these calls originate from Mumbai, they reflect what Indian users on those resolver networks see — not a European server pretending to be India.
Global panel — 10 location rows
We simultaneously query Google and Cloudflare DNS, labelled with the geographic regions each resolver network serves. Each row shows country flag, city, resolver used, and the resolved value.
IP identified as hosting provider
When your A record returns an IP, we cross-reference against our India hosting database. If the IP belongs to Hostinger, HostGator India, Bluehost India, BigRock or another tracked host, we show their 90-day average TTFB from Mumbai — not just a raw IP.
Contextual insight based on what the data shows
If your host is slow, we tell you — with data. If your MX records are missing, we tell you what to fix. If propagation is partial, we estimate completion based on TTL. Every result state maps to a relevant next step.
Record Types
What each DNS record type means for Indian webmasters
Not sure which record type to check? Here is plain-English guidance for each, and when it matters for your specific situation.
Address Record — your website IP
Maps your domain to an IPv4 address. Check this when verifying your website has moved to a new server. If still showing BigRock’s IP after switching to Hostinger, the A record has not yet propagated from Mumbai.
Mail Exchange — email routing
Tells the internet which mail server handles email for your domain. If email stopped working after DNS change India, check this first. MX propagation in India takes 1–4 hours.
Nameserver — who controls your DNS
Tells the internet which DNS servers are authoritative for your domain. If nameservers are not updating in India after 48 hours, verify the change was saved at your registrar.
Canonical Name — subdomain aliasing
Points one domain or subdomain to another. A CNAME cannot coexist with A or MX records on the same name — a common misconfiguration causing website not loading after migration India.
Text Record — SPF, DKIM, verification
Stores text data for services. The most common use is SPF records. If email from your domain is going to spam after DNS changes, your SPF record is likely missing or incorrect.
IPv6 Address Record
Same as A record but for IPv6 addresses. Jio’s network is predominantly IPv6 — without an AAAA record, Jio users may experience slightly longer connection times as devices fall back to IPv4.
Troubleshooting
DNS not propagating India? Common problems and fixes
If your website is showing the old IP, email is not working, or your domain is not resolving after a hosting change — here is the diagnostic guide for Indian webmasters.
Website showing old IP after migration India
You changed nameservers or A records but the old website still shows. Check if the tool shows different IPs across resolvers. If some show old and some new, propagation is in progress — wait for your TTL to expire.
Nameserver not updating India after 48 hours
NS record changes require the TLD registry to update. Many Indian registrars like BigRock and GoDaddy India require a separate Save or Confirm step that is easy to miss. Log back in and verify the change is actually saved.
Email not working after DNS change India
Email stops working when MX records are incorrect, missing, or not yet propagated. Select MX above and run a check. Your MX records should show your email provider’s mail server.
MX record not propagating India
If your previous TTL was set high (24 hours or longer), you may need to wait the full TTL duration. Check the TTL shown in the results — if TTL is 86400, cached MX records persist for up to 24 hours on resolvers that had the old record.
Domain not resolving after hosting change
Domain returns NXDOMAIN after changing hosting. This usually means the DNS zone on the new host has not been configured. Log into your new host’s control panel and verify DNS records exist.
DNS propagated globally but not on Airtel/BSNL
Tool shows new IP from Mumbai resolvers, but on Airtel broadband the old site loads. Airtel resolvers cache longer. Switch your device DNS to 8.8.8.8 and flush your DNS cache: ipconfig /flushdns on Windows.

Migration Guide
DNS migration guide for India — step by step
Changing hosting in India without a DNS plan leads to unnecessary downtime. Here is the exact sequence that minimises disruption and keeps email working throughout.
Lower your TTL 24–48 hours before migrating
Lower your A record TTL from its default (typically 3600 or 86400 seconds) to 300 seconds (5 minutes). Wait 24 hours for this change to propagate. With TTL 300, Indian ISPs will have your new records within 5–10 minutes of the change. With TTL 86400, they might hold the old record for 24 hours.
Set up your new hosting before changing DNS
Install WordPress or upload your files to the new host. Configure email on the new server. Test by temporarily editing your local hosts file. Do not change DNS until the new host is fully ready.
Change nameservers at your registrar
Update nameservers at BigRock, GoDaddy India, or Namecheap to point to your new host. Changing nameservers is the complete approach — your new host’s nameservers manage all DNS records. Allow 4–24 hours even with low TTL.
Check DNS propagation from Mumbai using this tool
Enter your domain above and select A Record. Monitor the India panel — when Mumbai resolvers show your new IP, Indian visitors are reaching your new host.
Verify MX records and SSL after migration
Once A records have propagated, check your MX records using this tool. Then verify your SSL certificate is installed on the new host. A missing SSL causes browsers to show a security warning to all Indian visitors.
Restore TTL to 3600 after migration is confirmed
Once migration is complete and verified, raise your TTL back to 3600 seconds. A very low TTL (300 seconds) increases DNS query load on your authoritative nameserver.
