Fast, practical, browser-based developer tools
Check DNS records such as A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, and NS directly in your browser. This tool is useful for DNS troubleshooting, email record checks, hosting verification, propagation review, and confirming that domain configuration matches your expected setup.
DNS records control how a domain connects to websites, mail servers, verification systems, and other services. A quick DNS lookup helps you understand where a domain points, whether records are present, and whether the returned values match the configuration you intended. This makes DNS checks useful for developers, sysadmins, IT teams, hosting users, and domain owners.
This page performs lookups using a DNS over HTTPS endpoint. That means your requested domain and record type are sent to an external DNS resolver service in order to return results in the browser. This is different from tools that perform everything locally.

Enter the domain name you want to inspect, choose a DNS record type, and click Lookup DNS. The tool will query a DNS over HTTPS endpoint and display the returned response so you can review the record values and related metadata.
example.com.A DNS lookup tool checks the Domain Name System records for a domain and returns the values associated with a selected record type. These records tell browsers, mail services, and network infrastructure how to route requests and identify services connected to the domain.
DNS lookup tools are commonly used to verify configuration, inspect domain connections, troubleshoot website or email issues, and confirm whether DNS changes have taken effect.
DNS records are at the center of how domains function. When something is misconfigured, websites may not load correctly, email may fail, or verification systems may not work. Looking up the records directly helps confirm what the domain is currently returning.
Different DNS record types serve different purposes. Looking up the right one depends on the problem you are trying to solve.
DNS over HTTPS, often abbreviated as DoH, is a way to perform DNS queries over HTTPS instead of using traditional DNS transport alone. In browser-based tools, DoH makes it possible to query a resolver endpoint and receive DNS answers in a web-friendly format.
This tool uses a DNS over HTTPS request so that lookup results can be retrieved directly in the browser.
A lookup can fail for several reasons. The domain may be invalid, the queried record may not exist, the external resolver may not respond, or the network or browser may block the request. In some cases the DNS response may also be empty even though the domain itself exists, because that specific record type is not configured.
This version supports A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS record lookups.
Yes. MX and TXT lookups can help you inspect email-related DNS configuration.
Yes. This tool is free to use online.
A lookup may fail because of network restrictions, browser blocking, invalid domains, unavailable DNS responses, or issues with the DNS over HTTPS endpoint.
Developers, system administrators, hosting users, IT teams, marketers, and website owners can all use this tool.
No. This page sends the lookup request to an external DNS over HTTPS service so it can return the DNS response in the browser.
