About DNS Records
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the phonebook of the Internet — it translates human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses. Every domain has DNS records that control how traffic is routed. This tool uses Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS (DoH) to query records privately and securely, without sending your queries as plaintext.
Common DNS Record Types
A Record
Maps a domain to an IPv4 address. The most fundamental DNS record type.
AAAA Record
Maps a domain to an IPv6 address. Used for IPv6-enabled servers.
MX Record
Mail Exchange — specifies the mail server responsible for receiving email.
NS Record
Name Server — indicates which DNS servers are authoritative for the domain.
TXT Record
Stores text data. Used for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain verification and more.
CNAME Record
Canonical Name — creates an alias pointing one domain to another.
SOA Record
Start of Authority — contains admin info about the DNS zone.
PTR Record
Pointer — used for reverse DNS lookups, mapping an IP back to a hostname.
How to Use This Tool
Enter any domain name (e.g., google.com) or IP address in the search box, select the record type you want to query, and click Lookup. For IP addresses, the tool automatically performs a reverse PTR lookup using the standard in-addr.arpa format. Results are fetched in real time from Cloudflare's authoritative DNS resolvers.
