DNSChecker.org is a technical diagnostics service operated by Softrix Technologies. This page sets out what we publish, what happens to anything you enter into our tools, what we will not host, and how to report a problem to us. It is written for both our visitors and our advertising partners, and it is the single document either can rely on.
Every page on DNSChecker.org — every article, guide, tool description and help page — is written and published by our own team. A page is drafted, reviewed in-house, and then published. There is no automated publication path onto this site, and nothing appears on it that a member of our team has not put there deliberately.
DNSChecker.org has no comments, no forums, no reviews, no public ratings, no question-and-answer sections, no chat, no message boards, no user profiles and no user accounts.
There is no mechanism anywhere on this site by which one visitor can place content in front of another visitor. Nothing you submit is published to a page, linked from the site, listed, indexed, or shown to anyone else.
Our tools take input — a domain name, an IP address, a block of text, or an image — and return a result to you. What happens to that input depends on the tool, and we think you are entitled to know which is which.
Tools that never send your input to us. Our QR code scanners and our text utilities (including the online notepad, the JSON viewer, the punycode converter, the text-to-binary translator and the small text generator) do all of their work inside your own browser. The file or text you provide is read locally by your browser and is never transmitted to our servers. We do not receive it, do not store it, and could not produce it if asked.
Tools that do send your input to us. Two of our tools cannot work that way, and we do not pretend otherwise:
What we do with images sent to us. They are used to produce your result and nothing else. They are never published on this site, never linked from it, never listed anywhere, and never shown to another visitor. The address generated for a reverse image search is known only to you and to the search service you sent it to.
How long we keep them: 30 minutes. Uploaded images are deleted automatically 30 minutes after upload. We hold nothing beyond the window the tool actually needs, so no archive of visitor images builds up on our systems.
See also our Privacy Policy.
When you look up a domain, our tools display that domain’s live DNS, WHOIS, SSL, or similar records. That information comes from the public DNS system and other public registries. It is authored by the domain’s owner, not by us and not by you, and it is shown only to the person who ran the lookup.
We reproduce those records exactly as they are returned. This is the same data that dig, nslookup, or whois return at a command line. We do not edit, filter or annotate them, because altering a diagnostic result would make the tool wrong and useless for the purpose people come here for.
Most of our pages carry a feedback button. It opens a short form: a star rating, a message, and an optional email address if you would like a reply.
Feedback comes privately to our team. It is not published on this site, not shown to other visitors, and not aggregated into any public score or rating. We do not display review or rating markup anywhere on DNSChecker.org. A message sent through that form reaches us the same way an email does, and a person reads it.
DNSChecker.org is a technical diagnostics site. The following categories do not appear on it and are not permitted, including in examples, screenshots, or anywhere adjacent to advertising:
In addition, we hold ourselves to three further rules:
Advertising on DNSChecker.org is governed by one rule:
No page on which visitor-supplied content reaches our servers carries advertising.
The pages covered by that rule — our image-handling tools, including both that transmit images to our servers — carry no advertising of any kind. Every page that does carry advertising processes its input entirely in the visitor’s browser and sends us nothing.
We also remove advertising from any page where an advertising partner raises a concern, including where we believe the concern is conservative. We treat that as their call to make, not ours.
Before any image is accepted by our tools, we apply a file-type allowlist, a size limit, a check that the file is not corrupted, and a challenge to filter automated submissions.
If you find anything on DNSChecker.org that you believe breaches this policy, is inaccurate, or should not be here, tell us:
Both routes reach the owner of the site directly. They do not enter a queue.
Our target is to remove or correct reported content within 24 hours of the report reaching us, and in practice we act the same working day. We are a small team with direct access to deploy changes, so there is no approval chain between a report and a fix.
We run an automated crawl of the entire site twice a week. It records every page, what input each page accepts, where that input is sent, and which advertising slots are present. Each crawl is kept, so we can compare one week against the next and detect any change to the site’s input surface rather than relying on memory.
Separately, we check advertising delivery daily, using a real browser, to confirm which advertisements actually render on which pages — including confirming that none render on the pages covered by the rule in section 7.
Editorial review of page content is continuous: pages are revised as the protocols and data sources behind them change.
We will update this page when the site changes. The date at the top always reflects the most recent revision. Questions about this policy, including from advertising partners, can be sent to [email protected].
