DNS
Lookup

Query every common DNS record for any domain, straight from the source.

Try:

Record types we check

Every lookup pulls all eight at once — no need to pick a type first.

A

IPv4 address the domain points to

AAAA

IPv6 address the domain points to

CNAME

Alias pointing to another hostname

MX

Mail servers that handle its email

TXT

Verification, SPF and DKIM records

NS

Nameservers that answer for the domain

SOA

Zone authority and refresh timing

CAA

Which certificate authorities can issue SSL

Common reasons to run a DNS lookup

After a DNS change

Confirm a new A record, nameserver, or MX change has propagated correctly.

Troubleshooting email

Check MX and TXT (SPF/DKIM) records when email isn't sending or landing in spam.

Verifying ownership

Look up a TXT record added for a domain verification step with another service.

Frequently asked questions

How DNS lookups work, and what to do when results look wrong.

It queries the domain name system to see what records a domain publishes — where it points, which servers handle its email, and which nameservers control it. It's the same lookup your browser does before loading any website.

Common reasons: confirming a domain migration or DNS change has taken effect, troubleshooting email delivery, verifying a TXT record for site or domain ownership, or checking which nameservers a domain uses.

DNS changes can take time to propagate — often minutes, sometimes up to 48 hours. It's also possible the domain isn't registered, isn't configured with any records yet, or the specific record type simply isn't set.

An A record points a domain directly to an IPv4 address. A CNAME record points it to another hostname instead, which then resolves further — useful for pointing a subdomain at a service without hardcoding an IP.

No — this queries public DNS the same way any browser or server would, so it only shows records that are actually published to the internet.
