DNS Lookup
Perform DNS lookups for an IP address or hostname to check various records like A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and PTR.
Understanding Our DNS Lookup Tool
What is DNS?
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet. Humans access information online through domain names, like nytimes.com or espn.com. Web browsers interact through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load Internet resources.
How Does This Tool Work?
Our DNS Lookup tool provides an easy way to query various DNS records for a given domain name or IP address. Simply enter the hostname or IP into the search box and click 'Lookup'. The tool will then query public DNS servers to fetch the requested records and display them in a clean, easy-to-read format.
What Information Can You Get?
You can retrieve multiple types of DNS records, including A (IPv4 address), AAAA (IPv6 address), CNAME (canonical name), MX (mail exchange), NS (name server), TXT (text records), SOA (start of authority), and PTR (pointer records for reverse DNS lookups).
