About DNS Lookup

Look up selected DNS record types for a domain or host. Inspect address, mail, nameserver and verification records when checking a deployment or tracking down DNS configuration issues.

How to use DNS Lookup

  1. Enter the domain, host or supported reverse lookup target.
  2. Select record types and optionally configure resolver addresses.
  3. Run the lookup and review records and per-type errors.

Input and output example

Input and settings
example.com
Record types: A, AAAA, MX
Expected output
Returned address and mail records, with lookup errors where applicable.

When to use this tool

  • Verify a domain points to the intended hosting service.
  • Check mail routing or a TXT verification record.

Limits to know before using it

Results reflect the selected resolver and its cache. Split DNS and propagation can differ across networks. TTL is available for address records where returned, not every record type.

Data handling and cost

The submitted target and parameters are sent to the server for processing. Job inputs and results can be stored as part of the service workflow; the tool uses a session to associate jobs and credits with you. See the privacy policy for details.

Each successful run uses 1 credit. Guest trials depend on your available allowance; register or sign in when it runs out. Failed jobs follow the service refund rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can query A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, SRV, CAA, and PTR records. Select one or more types before running the lookup, or leave all selected to fetch everything at once.

DNS Lookup queries public resolvers (Google, Cloudflare, etc.) rather than your local ISP or corporate DNS. Propagation delays, split-horizon DNS, or resolver caching can cause differences. Try switching resolvers to compare.

Results are fetched live on each request. The TTL shown for each record indicates how long resolvers may cache it. If you recently changed a record, wait for the TTL to expire before expecting consistent results globally.
