Every DNS record in one place
Enter a domain to query its A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA and CAA records through Cloudflare's or Google's public DNS over HTTPS — the same answers the rest of the internet sees right now. Each record shows its TTL, MX servers are sorted by priority, and SOA records are broken into readable fields.
The email security section checks the domain's SPF and DMARC records and explains in plain English whether they protect against spoofed email. You'll also see when answers are DNSSEC-validated, and entering an IP address performs a reverse (PTR) lookup.

Tips and good to know
- DNS changes can take up to the old record's TTL to reach everyone; check both resolvers to see if an update has spread.
- Want to know who owns an IP address from the A record? Use the IP Lookup.
