The hostname is sent to this site’s server, which queries Google Public DNS. Results can be cached and may differ from your domain provider’s recursive resolver.
About
Look up A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, or CAA records for a domain. The browser sends the hostname to this site, and the server asks a public DNS-over-HTTPS resolver.
Enter a domain and choose a DNS record type to inspect the records returned by a public DNS-over-HTTPS resolver. The result lists record names, TTL values, and record data without requiring command-line tools.
What you can do
- Checks A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, and CAA records.
- Displays returned names, TTL values, and data.
- Validates the hostname and queries the resolver through a protected server endpoint.
Common uses
- Confirm that a domain points to the expected IP address.
- Inspect MX or TXT records during email and domain setup.
- Troubleshoot a CNAME, nameserver, or certificate-authority record.
Frequently asked questions
Why might DNS results differ from my provider?
Resolvers may have different caches and query paths. TTL values and propagation timing can also mean that locations see different answers temporarily.
Does this check every DNS record?
It checks the common record types offered in the selector. It is a lookup view, not a complete authoritative-zone audit.
