DNS Lookup

Query DNS records for any domain. View A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, and SOA records using Google's public DNS servers.

What Is DNS?

DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names (like google.com) into IP addresses that computers use to communicate. It's often called the "phone book of the internet." DNS records contain various information about a domain's configuration.

DNS Record Types

Type Purpose Example
A Maps domain to IPv4 address 93.184.216.34
AAAA Maps domain to IPv6 address 2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946
MX Mail server for the domain mail.example.com (priority 10)
TXT Text records (SPF, DKIM, verification) v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
NS Nameserver for the domain ns1.example.com
CNAME Alias pointing to another domain www → example.com
SOA Start of Authority — domain admin info Primary NS, admin email, serial

FAQ

What DNS server does this tool use?

This tool queries Google's Public DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) service at dns.google. This provides accurate, unfiltered results regardless of your local DNS configuration.

Why can't I see all records?

DNS only returns records of the specific type you query. Use the "All Records" button to automatically query A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, and CNAME records at once.
