DNS Lookup

Check the live DNS records for any domain: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA and CAA. Useful for confirming a change has propagated or checking someone else's setup.

🔒 The hostname you look up is sent to Cloudflare's public resolver (1.1.1.1) over HTTPS to answer the query. Nothing else leaves your browser.

How to use it

  1. Type a domain, such as anto.online.
  2. Pick the record type you want to see.
  3. Select Look up. The answers and their TTLs appear below.

What the record types mean

  • A / AAAA: the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses a name points to.
  • CNAME: an alias pointing one name at another.
  • MX: the mail servers that accept email for the domain.
  • TXT: free-form text records, used for SPF, DKIM and domain verification.
  • NS: the authoritative name servers for the domain.
  • SOA: the primary name server and the zone’s refresh and expiry timers.
  • CAA: which certificate authorities are allowed to issue certificates for the domain.

FAQ

I changed a record but it still shows the old value. DNS is cached. The TTL in the results tells you how long resolvers may hold the old answer. This tool queries Cloudflare directly, so it usually updates faster than your local resolver.

Does this use my computer’s DNS settings? No. It queries Cloudflare’s resolver over HTTPS, so you get the public answer regardless of your local Pi-hole or router.
