DNS Lookup
Query any DNS record type for any domain: A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA, and more.
DNS Record Types Explained
A Record (Address Record)
Maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. This is the most fundamental DNS record type. When you visit a website, your browser queries the A record to find the server's IP address.
AAAA Record (IPv6 Address)
Similar to an A record but maps to an IPv6 address. As IPv6 adoption grows, more domains are adding AAAA records alongside their A records.
MX Record (Mail Exchange)
Specifies which mail servers are responsible for accepting email for the domain. MX records have a priority value (lower numbers = higher priority). Essential for email routing.
TXT Record (Text Record)
Stores arbitrary text data. Commonly used for domain verification (Google Search Console, etc.), SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication, DKIM public keys, and DMARC policies.
CNAME Record (Canonical Name)
Creates an alias from one domain name to another. For example, www.example.com might CNAME to example.com. Used extensively for subdomains pointing to CDNs or SaaS services.
NS Record (Nameserver)
Specifies which DNS nameservers are authoritative for the domain. These are the servers that hold the DNS zone file and answer queries for the domain.
SOA Record (Start of Authority)
Contains administrative information about a DNS zone, including the primary nameserver, the email of the domain administrator, and timing values for zone transfers.
CAA Record (Certification Authority Authorization)
Specifies which Certificate Authorities (CAs) are allowed to issue SSL/TLS certificates for the domain. Helps prevent unauthorized certificate issuance.
