About this tool
Perform a free online DNS lookup for A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, and other record types and verify propagation from global resolvers.
- Enter the domain you want to resolve.
- Choose the record type, such as A, AAAA, MX, or TXT.
- Compare answers from different regions to confirm global propagation.
Frequently asked questions
- Which DNS record types can I look up?
- The tool resolves A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, SRV, and CAA records. A and AAAA map names to IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, MX lists mail servers, and TXT carries verification and SPF records.
- Why do different regions return different DNS answers?
- DNS changes propagate gradually and geo-DNS services intentionally answer differently by region. Checking several regions tells you whether a recent record change has reached the world or is still cached.
- How long does it take for DNS changes to appear?
- Records are cached for their TTL, typically 300 to 86400 seconds. After lowering the TTL before a migration, new values usually propagate within minutes to an hour.
