About DNS Lookup
What is the DNS Lookup Tool?
The DNS Lookup Tool enables you to query DNS servers and fetch domain-related records like A, MX, TXT, CNAME, and more. It is ideal for troubleshooting or verifying DNS configurations, and it now includes a worldwide resolver comparison inspired by multi-region DNS checker workflows. Also check out our guide on how to find and update your local DNS values.
How It Works
- Enter the domain name (or a full URL) in the input field.
- Select the DNS service you wish to use (e.g., Google, Cloudflare).
- Filter by record type or search within the results.
- Review the grouped DNS record details instantly, then compare how worldwide providers answer for the same record type.
Key Features
- Comprehensive Queries: Retrieve major DNS record types (A, AAAA, TXT, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, CAA, SRV).
- Record Filters: Toggle record types and search results quickly.
- Grouped Views: Browse results by record type with TTL and metadata.
- Worldwide Resolver Snapshot: Compare answers from public DNS providers across United States anycast networks plus Europe and East Asia.
- Export Options: Copy results or view raw JSON output.
