About the DNS Record Lookup
DNS, the Domain Name System, translates human-readable domain names into the addresses and services computers use. This tool queries public DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers and displays the records that make a domain work, including web hosting, email routing, and verification entries.
What you can check
- A and AAAA records show where a website is hosted.
- MX records reveal which mail provider receives email for the domain.
- TXT records hold SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and site-verification values.
- NS records identify the authoritative name servers.
- CNAME records show aliases such as
wwwpointing to a host.
How to use this tool
- Type a domain name, for example
example.com. - Click Look up records.
- Review each record group, including TTL and value.
Frequently asked questions
Why are my new records not showing?
DNS changes propagate through caches. Public resolvers may keep old answers until the record TTL expires, which can take minutes or hours.
Can I see every record for a domain?
No. Public DNS only exposes records that resolvers can query. Zone transfers and internal or split-horizon records remain private.
Does this show the domain owner?
No. Use a WHOIS lookup for registration details. DNS records describe how the domain is configured, not who owns it.
