DNS Lookup Tool
Enter a domain name to query its DNS records. You can look up A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA, SRV, CAA, and PTR records. Defaults to all record types if you don't specify one. Essential for DNS debugging, email setup verification, or domain migration.
A domain name, or an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) for a reverse PTR lookup. Underscore names like _dmarc.example.com work
Leave empty to query A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS and CNAME
returns
- data.records
- One object per record with type, host, TTL and value fields. MX records are sorted by priority.
- data.record_count
- How many records came back.
- data.exists

- data.types_queried

questions
What DNS record types are available?
A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), MX (mail servers), TXT (text records like SPF/DKIM), CNAME (aliases), NS (name servers), SOA (zone authority), SRV (service records), CAA (certificate authority), and PTR (reverse DNS).
Why don't I see the DNS changes I just made?
DNS changes take time to propagate. TTL (Time To Live) values on existing records determine how long resolvers cache old data. Changes typically propagate within minutes to 48 hours depending on the TTL.
