What is DNS Lookup?
DNS Lookup is a free online tool that allows you to query DNS records for any domain name or hostname. DNS (Domain Name System) is the system that translates human-readable domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1) that computers use to identify each other on the internet.
What DNS Records Can You Lookup?
- A Record: Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. This is the most common DNS record type.
- AAAA Record: Maps a domain name to an IPv6 address, the newer version of IP addresses.
- CNAME Record: Creates an alias from one domain name to another. Useful for pointing multiple domains to the same server.
- MX Record: Specifies the mail servers responsible for receiving email for a domain.
- NS Record: Identifies the authoritative name servers for a domain.
- TXT Record: Stores text-based information, commonly used for SPF records, DKIM keys, and other verification purposes.
- SOA Record: Contains administrative information about a DNS zone, including the primary name server and contact information.
