A → 192.0.2.1 · TTL → 300
Read each answer together with its type and TTL. An empty answer alone does not prove the domain is unknown; other resolvers may hold different cached data.
DNS lookup: check a domain’s DNS records
Look up a domain’s A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME and CAA records. Inspect responses and errors without treating one resolver as a global propagation test.

We count which tools are used most, without including entered values or file contents in the statistics. Privacy
How to use the tool
Select a record type, enter a domain and run the query. ALL requests the seven supported types.
How the check works
The server resolver returns records for the selected name and type. A identifies an IPv4 address, AAAA an IPv6 address, and MX a mail server with its priority.
Interpreting the result
Read each answer together with its type and TTL. An empty answer alone does not prove the domain is unknown; other resolvers may hold different cached data.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example with sample data: actual responses may change.
Limits and data handling
The server resolver is queried: this is not a global propagation test. An empty answer alone cannot distinguish an unknown name from a missing record type. Returned TTL may reflect caching.
Your input is sent to the server for inspection. No authentication is sent to the destination site.
Results reflect the time of the check.
