Query any DNS record type for any domain - A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA, CAA. Results come from our own neutral resolver.
Enter a domain name above to query DNS records
This tool queries the Domain Name System (DNS) for any domain using our own dedicated resolver. Results reflect what any internet-connected client would receive - propagation delays and TTL caching may cause different results from different locations.
DNS Lookup shows the answer. To follow how that answer is reached, from the root through the TLD to the name servers of the domain, use DNS Trace; to check the delegation of a domain for errors, use DNS Health.
A - maps a domain to an IPv4 address. The most common record type.
AAAA - maps a domain to an IPv6 address.
MX - identifies mail servers for the domain. Lower priority number = higher priority.
TXT - free-form text. Used for SPF (email anti-spoofing), DKIM keys, domain verification tokens, and more.
CNAME - alias from one domain to another. The DNS resolver follows the chain until it reaches an A/AAAA record.
NS - nameservers authoritative for the domain.
SOA - Start of Authority. Contains administrative details about the zone: primary nameserver, admin contact, and timing parameters.
CAA - Certificate Authority Authorisation. Specifies which CAs are allowed to issue SSL/TLS certificates for the domain.
Time To Live - how long (in seconds) DNS resolvers and browsers are allowed to cache a record before re-querying. A TTL of 300 means 5 minutes. Lower TTLs mean faster propagation when you change DNS records; higher TTLs reduce DNS query load.
