What is a DNS SOA record?

SOA (Start of Authority) records are part of the DNS that specify the administrative details for a domain name. These include things like who is responsible for maintaining the DNS records and how long they are valid for. It also contains the primary name servers for that domain name.

These records help you manage your domains, so if you’re looking to buy or sell a domain or change its DNS settings, you’ll need to set up an SOA record for that domain.

How are SOA records useful to you?

The SOA (Start of Authority) contains information about the domain’s primary name server, as well as the email address of the person responsible for its maintenance.

The SOA record has several components:

  • The primary server’s hostname

  • The primary server’s email address

  • The serial number of the zone file

  • The time to live (TTL) value for the domain name

For more information on this prior to your SOA record lookup, you can read our complete guide on DNS SOA records.

Why perform an SOA record lookup?

If you run a website, it’s essential that you’re able to control who has access to your site and how they get there. Because DNS SOA records are so important to maintaining control over your domain name, it’s important to keep an eye on them at all times. You can do this by performing an SOA record lookup every month or so—to check them at regular intervals. 

SOA record lookup is a good way to check the configuration of your DNS servers. It can help you find out whether there are any errors in your DNS configuration, or if the records are configured correctly.
