DNS Lookup (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA)
Query live DNS records for any domain through DNS-over-HTTPS — all record types in one place.
About This Tool & Technical Logic
DNS translates domain names into the records systems actually use: A/AAAA for IP addresses, MX for mail routing, TXT for verification and SPF/DKIM, NS for delegation, CNAME for aliasing, and SOA for zone authority.
Queries run over DNS-over-HTTPS (Google Public DNS resolver) from your browser, so results reflect genuine public DNS — the same answer any visitor's resolver would eventually give. Propagation differences across the world mean a record can be visible here minutes before (or after) other resolvers catch up.
GET dns.google/resolve?name={domain}&type={type} — JSON answers rendered per record with TTLs.
How to Use — Step by Step
- 1
Enter a bare domain
example.com without https:// or a path — a hostname that isn't a domain will return NXDOMAIN.
- 2
Pick a record type
A for websites, MX for mail delivery problems, TXT for SPF/DKIM/verification strings.
- 3
Read status and TTL
Status 0 = NOERROR (records found); 3 = NXDOMAIN (domain doesn't exist). TTL shows how long resolvers cache each answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
DNS caching: records carry a TTL during which resolvers keep old answers. Lower your TTL before planned changes, and expect global propagation within hours.
