Search DNS records & IP details.
This online tool searches recursively, so most relevant information is shown directly.
The data presented is similar to command-line tools such as dig
,
host
, nslookup
and others.
Examples:
- < blank >
- — Your current IPv4 or IPv6 address
- 1.1.1.1
- — IPv4 address search, CloudFlare Public DNS

The
IPv4
address locates a
host on the Internet. It is still commonly used, but has been
superseded by the newer IPv6 standard.
The
IPv6
address locates a
host on the Internet. Support is still not universal, but IPv6 should
obsolete IPv4 eventually.
The DNS
PTR
record maps an
IP address to a name. It is used for reverse IP lookups.
The DNS
CNAME
record is the
equivalent of a redirect or an alias. The referenced name is
specified as a fully qualified DNS name.
Any recursive DNS lookup (
A
,
AAAA
,
MX
, etc) will use the referenced name instead. The
CNAME
record is normally only used for subdomains,
such as
www.domain.tld
.
The DNS
A
record maps a name
to an IPv4 address.
The DNS
MX
record specifies
an mail server for the zone (domain). The data format is
priority hostname
.
The
priority is a decimal number, where lower values
have precedence over higher. The
hostname is a fully
qualified DNS name for an SMTP mail server.
The DNS
SRV
record defines the priority,
weight, hostname, and port number for a specified service.
The DNS
TXT
record may contain any
information, but it commonly contains the SPF, DKIM or DMARC policies
for the zone (domain) in machine readable form.
The DNS
CAA
record specifies valid
certificate authorities for a zone (domain).
The DNS
NS
record specifies
the authoritative DNS server for the zone (domain). The server is
specified as a fully qualified name and points to a DNS server.
The DNS
SOA
record specifies
authoritative information about a zone (domain).
The DNS
DNSKEY
record contains the public
key used to verify a delegated zone (domain) for
DNSSEC
.
The DNS
DS
record holds the signed
name of the delegated zone (domain) for
DNSSEC
.
The DNS
NSEC
record contains a link to
the next record name in the zone and lists the record types that exist. Used to
verify the non-existence of a record for
DNSSEC
.
