DNS Lookup

Look up public A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, and TXT records for a domain.

The URL you submit is sent to our server for public checks. Reports are not saved.

Public websites only. A domain without a scheme uses HTTPS. Checks run from our server.

A clearer view of your website

Look up public A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, and TXT records in one place.

A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use DNS Lookup

  1. Enter a public domain or paste its website URL. The lookup uses the hostname, not the page path.
  2. Select Look up DNS to query the supported public record types.
  3. Review the returned names, types, and values. Compare them with the records expected for your website or email service.

What is DNS Lookup?

DNS maps domain names to network addresses and other service information. A and AAAA records provide IPv4 and IPv6 addresses; CNAME records identify aliases; MX records identify mail servers; NS records identify name servers; and TXT records carry text such as service-verification and email-policy values. This lookup reports the answers visible from ADEMN's server.

  • Query six common public DNS record types
  • Inspect record names and values together
  • Review mail-server and text records alongside website addresses
  • Run an on-demand lookup without installing a command-line tool

Understanding DNS answers

An absent record type is not automatically an error. A domain can work without an AAAA or MX record, depending on the services it uses. A lookup for a hostname also does not enumerate all of its subdomains or every verification record under other names.

DNS answers can vary by resolver, cache, and location. After changing a record, check the intended authoritative configuration and allow for existing cache lifetimes. This tool provides one server-side view, not a global propagation test.

A practical example

INPUT
Illustrative input only: example.com
RESULT
Illustrative record format, not a live lookup:
A · example.com · 192.0.2.10
MX · example.com · mail.example.com
TXT · example.com · example-verification=value

Frequently asked questions

Which DNS record types are supported?

The tool queries A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, and TXT records for the entered hostname. It does not enumerate all subdomains or test every possible DNS record type.

Why do different DNS tools show different answers?

Resolvers can hold different cached answers, and some DNS providers return location-dependent addresses. A recent change may therefore appear at different times from different networks.

Does an empty MX result mean the website is down?

No. MX records relate to email delivery. Website address records and HTTP responses are separate checks. Review the record types required for the service you are diagnosing.

Is the lookup performed in my browser?

No. Your target hostname is sent to ADEMN's server for public DNS queries. The application does not save the report, and browser cookies or Authorization headers are not forwarded to the target.
