DNS Lookup

Look up a domain's DNS records (A, MX, TXT, NS and more).

This looks up records using Google's public DNS-over-HTTPS API, called directly from your browser — the domain you enter is sent to Google's DNS resolver to perform the lookup (it is not sent to, or stored by, this website).

What is the DNS Lookup tool?

This tool looks up a domain's DNS records — A/AAAA records (IP addresses), MX records (mail servers), TXT records (often used for domain verification and SPF/DKIM), NS records (nameservers), or a CNAME — which is useful for verifying DNS changes have propagated, or debugging why email or a website isn't resolving correctly.

How to use it

  1. Enter a domain and pick a record type.
  2. Click Lookup to see the matching records.

How it actually works

Unlike the rest of the tools on this site, a real DNS lookup can't be done with pure client-side code alone — browsers have no built-in way to query DNS directly. This tool calls Google's public DNS-over-HTTPS API directly from your browser to perform the lookup. That means the domain name you look up is sent to Google's DNS resolver (not to any server operated by this website) to get an answer — worth knowing if you're looking up something sensitive.
