DNS lookup

Look up A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA and CAA records for any domain, directly from your browser.

Runs in your browser · nothing is sentDNSNew

The look-up sends only the domain name and the record type to Cloudflare’s DNS service (cloudflare-dns.com). Nothing else leaves your browser.

Record types
All common types

How to use

  1. Enter a domain, for example example.com.
  2. Optionally select specific record types, or leave it on the common set.
  3. Select Look up and read the results per type.

Common scenarios

Checking if MX records point to the right provider

Look up MX and compare the hostnames to what your mail provider documents.

Verifying a TXT record after a DNS change

DNS changes can take time to spread. Look up TXT again after the expected propagation time.

About this tool

Enter a domain to look up one or more DNS record types. Pick specific types or leave the selection empty to check the common ones (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME, SOA, CAA) in one go. The look-up only sends the domain name and record type to Cloudflare’s DNS service.

🔒 Your input stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some record types show "No record of this type"?

A domain usually only has records for the types it actually uses. A domain without its own mail server, for example, has no MX record. That is normal, not an error.

How is this different from dig or nslookup?

It queries the same DNS system, but runs in your browser over DNS-over-HTTPS instead of a terminal command, and shows several record types at once.
