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

  1. Enter the domain name (or a full URL) in the input field.
  2. Select the DNS service you wish to use (e.g., Google, Cloudflare).
  3. Filter by record type or search within the results.
  4. Review the grouped DNS record details instantly, then compare how worldwide providers answer for the same record type.

Key Features

  1. Comprehensive Queries: Retrieve major DNS record types (A, AAAA, TXT, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, CAA, SRV).
  2. Record Filters: Toggle record types and search results quickly.
  3. Grouped Views: Browse results by record type with TTL and metadata.
  4. Worldwide Resolver Snapshot: Compare answers from public DNS providers across United States anycast networks plus Europe and East Asia.
  5. Export Options: Copy results or view raw JSON output.
