Query live A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA and SRV records for any domain.
Fetching live data…
The DNS Records Lookup is a free tool that queries the live DNS records for any domain and returns them exactly as resolvers see them right now — A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA and SRV. Instead of waiting on a hosting dashboard to refresh, you get the actual published values in seconds, which makes it easy to verify a migration, confirm an email setup or debug a record that is not resolving. No signup, no limits, just real data.

Yes — completely free, with no signup and no usage limits. Query as many domains and record types as you like.
DNS changes take time to propagate based on the record's TTL and resolver caching. The tool reads live records, but a recently edited record may still be cached by some resolvers for minutes to hours.
Use the WHOIS Lookup to see who registered the domain and when it expires, and the SSL Certificate Checker to verify the TLS certificate on the resolved host. For email-record fundamentals, see our technical SEO audit checklist. To get the DNS records together with the domain's hosting, CMS and on-page signals in one report, use the website analysis tool.
