DNS LookupThis specific service refers to the process of searching for the unique IP address and DNS records that a certain domain name is associated with. Since the domain name is only the user-side title of a website, whose main purpose is to make it easily findable among the pool of web pages online, it does not provide sufficient information for the website administration process. Website owners may often need to know what the system-side name of a domain is while managing their websites and the best way to find out is through a DNS lookup tool. |
To improve performance of DNS Lookup service and to prevent its excessive high-volume use by a single source, we implemented a randomly generated captcha code that must be entered before running a DNS Lookup request. Please enter the captcha code from the image field below into the text field. |
DNS Records
- Type A - Provides a mapping from a host name (the owner name) to an IPv4 address.
- Type CNAME - Defines an alias of the owner name, that is, the RDATA of a CNAME RR is another name of the owner name.
- Type MX - Provides a host name of a mail server for a domain specified by the owner name. The integer defines the preference among multiple servers.
- Type PTR - Points to some location in the name space. The RDATA of a PTR RR has no official semantics in the DNS protocol definition, but it commonly provides a mapping from an IP address to a host name.
- Type SOA - Defines zone’s property.
- Type SPF - Specified as part of the SPF protocol, as an alternative to storing SPF data in TXT records. Uses the same format as the TXT record.
- Type SRV - Generalized service location record, used for newer protocols instead of creating protocol-specific records such as MX.
- Type TXT - Originally for arbitrary human-readable text in a DNS record. Since the early 1990s, however, this record more often carries machine-readable data, such as specified by RFC1464, opportunistic encryption, Sender Policy Framework (deprecated), DomainKeys, DNS-SD, etc.
