DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses and other technical details. This tool helps IT professionals, network administrators, and developers inspect and troubleshoot DNS configurations.
What This Tool Can Do
• Lookup multiple DNS record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, PTR)
• Perform instant queries directly in your browser

What Is DNS?
DNS is the system that translates domain names (like example.com) into IP addresses that computers use to communicate. Different record types serve different purposes:
- A Record: Maps a domain to an IPv4 address
- AAAA Record: Maps a domain to an IPv6 address
- CNAME Record: Alias for another domain
- MX Record: Mail server information
- NS Record: Name servers authoritative for a domain
- TXT Record: Arbitrary text for verification or policies
- SOA Record: Start of authority record for a domain
- PTR Record: Reverse DNS lookup from IP to domain
FAQ
Can I lookup any domain?

Is my query sent anywhere?
All lookups are performed in your browser; results are fetched directly from DNS servers.
Why use this tool?
