Enter a valid domain name

The free DNS Record Lookup shows the DNS records of any domain. Enter a domain name and the tool queries DNS and returns its records, including A and AAAA records that point to IP addresses, MX records for mail, TXT records used for verification and policies, NS records for name servers, and CNAME aliases. The data is pulled live, so you see the current configuration.

DNS is the system that connects a domain name to the servers behind it. Its records tell the internet where to send web traffic, where email should go, and which servers are authoritative for the domain. Looking up these records is how you verify a domain's setup or track down a configuration problem.

How to Look Up DNS Records

  1. Enter a domain. Type the domain name you want to check.
  2. Look up. The tool queries DNS for the domain's records.
  3. Read the records. See the A, MX, TXT, NS, and other records the domain has.

What the Records Mean

Each record type does a specific job. An A record maps the domain to an IPv4 address, and an AAAA record does the same for IPv6, which is where a browser goes to load the site. MX records direct email to the right mail servers. TXT records hold text used for things like domain verification and email authentication policies such as SPF and DKIM. NS records name the authoritative name servers for the domain, and CNAME records point one name to another as an alias. Seeing all of them together gives you a full view of how a domain is wired.

When to Look Up DNS Records

  • Checking where a domain points. Confirm the IP address a domain resolves to.
  • Verifying mail setup. Check MX and TXT records for email delivery and authentication.
  • Troubleshooting DNS. Track down a misconfigured or missing record.
  • Confirming a change. Verify that a DNS update has taken effect.
