DNS Lookup Tool
Query DNS records for any domain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the DNS results come from? +
Results come from Google's public DNS-over-HTTPS service (dns.google). This provides the same data as querying 8.8.8.8 directly, but over a secure HTTPS connection.
What is the TTL value in the results? +
TTL (Time To Live) is the number of seconds a DNS record can be cached before it must be refreshed. Lower TTL values mean changes propagate faster but cause more DNS queries.
Why might my DNS lookup show different results than expected? +
DNS records can vary based on the resolver used and propagation delays after changes. Google DNS may cache records differently than your ISP's resolver. New DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally.
What are MX records used for? +
MX (Mail Exchange) records specify which mail servers handle email for a domain. The priority number determines the order servers are tried, with lower numbers being tried first.
