DNS lookup
Look up any domain’s DNS records — the addresses, mail servers and text records the internet uses to find it.
Records
| Record type | TTL | Value |

Resolved over encrypted DNS by Cloudflare (1.1.1.1). Your query goes straight from your browser to them — it never passes through our server.

What do the record types mean?
A and AAAA point a name at an IPv4 and IPv6 address. CNAME makes one name an alias for another. MX says where email for the domain should go. NS names the servers in charge of the domain. TXT holds free text, which is where SPF, DKIM and domain verification live. SOA carries the zone’s administrative settings. CAA limits which certificate authorities may issue certificates. PTR maps an address back to a name.
What is the TTL?
Time to live: how many seconds a resolver may keep the answer before asking again. A low TTL, say 300, means a change spreads within five minutes. A high one, say 86400, means a change can take a day to reach everybody. Lower the TTL a day before you plan to move something.
I changed a record and still see the old one
Something between you and the source is still inside the old TTL. This tool asks Cloudflare’s resolver, which has its own cache, and your computer and router have theirs. Waiting out the TTL is usually all that is needed.
Does my lookup go through your server?
No. Your browser asks Cloudflare’s DNS-over-HTTPS resolver directly, and the answer comes straight back to you. We never see which domains you look up, because the request does not touch our server at all.
