DNS Lookup

Instantly retrieve A, AAAA, MX, TXT, and NS records for any domain name using our fast edge resolvers.

What This Tool Does

Our DNS lookup tool queries authoritative nameservers to retrieve DNS records for any domain. You can check A records (IPv4), AAAA records (IPv6), MX records (mail servers), TXT records (SPF, DKIM, verification), NS records (nameservers), and CNAME records (aliases). Results are fetched from our global edge network for fast, accurate responses.

Common Use Cases

Verify DNS propagation after making changes
Debug email delivery issues by checking MX and SPF records
Investigate domain configuration problems
Check DKIM and DMARC records for email authentication
Find all nameservers responsible for a domain

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different DNS record types?

A records point to IPv4 addresses, AAAA to IPv6. MX records specify mail servers. TXT records hold text data like SPF policies. NS records list authoritative nameservers. CNAME records create aliases pointing to other domains.

How long does DNS propagation take?

DNS changes typically propagate within 24-48 hours globally, but often much faster (minutes to hours). The actual time depends on TTL (Time To Live) values set on your records and caching by ISP resolvers.

Why might DNS lookup show different results?

DNS results can vary due to geographic load balancing, CDN configurations, or propagation delays. Different resolvers may cache records at different times, showing temporarily inconsistent results.
