About DNS Lookup

DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the network.

This tool queries DNS servers to find the IP addresses associated with a domain name.

Privacy Note: All DNS lookups are performed on our own servers.

Look up DNS records for any domain name instantly. Query A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, NS, TXT, SOA, and PTR records from authoritative nameservers. Diagnose DNS propagation issues, verify mail server configuration, and audit domain settings — all from your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

What DNS record types can I look up?
You can query A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, NS, TXT, SOA, and PTR records. A records map domains to IPv4 addresses, AAAA to IPv6, MX to mail servers, CNAME to aliases, NS to nameservers, TXT to text data (SPF, DKIM), and SOA to zone authority info.
Why do I see different results than my local DNS?
Local DNS resolvers cache records based on TTL. This tool queries authoritative servers directly, so you see the current published records — not cached versions.
Can I check if DNS changes have propagated?
This tool shows the current authoritative records. For propagation across multiple global locations, use the DNS Propagation tool.
