Query DNS Records
DNS Records
DNS Lookup is a query process that shows which IP address a domain name points to and which servers it is associated with. Through this process, you can easily retrieve DNS record types such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, and SOA for a given domain.
This tool is especially preferred by system administrators, developers, and security experts. It is used for various purposes such as checking domain redirections, verifying email server settings, and analyzing DNS configurations.
Using an online DNS Lookup tool is very simple:
Type a domain name (e.g. example.com) into the search bar above.
Press enter to go to a detailed results page showing the DNS records for that domain.
The lookup is performed in real time without using any cache, so the results are always fresh and up-to-date.
By default, the results page displays A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, NS, MX, and SOA records.
You can also choose which DNS server to query:
Public global DNS servers (e.g. Google 8.8.8.8)
The authoritative DNS server for the domain
Local DNS servers from different parts of the world
It helps you see the technical setup of a domain name. For example, if a website is not loading, this tool helps you understand why. You can also check redirections, email servers, and security-related records like SPF and DKIM.
By default, the following records are shown:
A (IPv4 address)
AAAA (IPv6 address)
MX (Mail server)
NS (Name servers)
CNAME (Canonical name or alias)
TXT (usually includes SPF, DMARC)
SOA (Start of Authority for DNS zone)
