DNS Lookup
Look up DNS records for any domain name using Google's public DNS-over-HTTPS resolver. Select a record type — A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, or SOA — enter the domain, and see the results instantly in a clean table showing the record name, type, TTL, and data.
This is useful for developers verifying DNS propagation, checking mail server configuration (MX records), confirming TXT records for SPF/DKIM/domain verification, or simply exploring how a domain's DNS is set up.
The query is sent to dns.google.com over HTTPS. No data is stored and no account is required.

Frequently asked questions
What DNS record types are supported?▼
The tool supports A (IPv4 address), AAAA (IPv6 address), MX (mail exchange), TXT (text records used for SPF, DKIM, and verification), CNAME (canonical name alias), NS (nameserver), and SOA (start of authority).
Where does the DNS query go?▼
Queries are sent to Google's public DNS-over-HTTPS service at dns.google.com. This is a free, public API — no API key or account is needed. Your browser makes the request directly.
Why might I see different results from my local DNS?▼
Google's public DNS may have different cache state or see different authoritative responses than your ISP's resolver. Propagation delays after DNS changes can cause temporary differences between resolvers.
Is this tool free to use?▼
Yes. The tool uses Google's free public DNS API and runs entirely in your browser. There are no usage limits imposed by this tool, though Google may rate-limit excessive automated queries.
