Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about DNS Lookup
What is a DNS Lookup?
A DNS Lookup queries the Domain Name System to find IP addresses or other records associated with a domain name. It translates human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses.
What do the different record types mean?
A Record points to IPv4 address. AAAA points to IPv6. MX specifies mail servers. TXT provides text info (SPF, DKIM). CNAME creates domain aliases. NS indicates authoritative nameservers.
How does this tool work without a server?
This tool uses Cloudflare's public DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) API. All queries are made directly from your browser to Cloudflare's secure API, ensuring complete privacy.
What is TTL (Time To Live)?
TTL tells DNS resolvers how long to cache a record before requesting a fresh copy. Lower TTL means faster updates but more DNS traffic. Higher TTL reduces queries but slows propagation.
Is my lookup data safe?
Yes! All DNS queries happen in your browser using encrypted HTTPS. Your lookups are never sent to our servers or logged anywhere.
Why are my results different from another tool?
Different tools may query different DNS servers or have varying cache times. Our tool uses Cloudflare's global DNS which provides accurate, up-to-date results.
What is DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH)?
DoH encrypts DNS queries using HTTPS protocol, preventing eavesdropping and tampering. It provides privacy and security for your DNS lookups.
Can I check any domain?
Yes, you can lookup DNS records for any public domain. Private or internal domains may not return results through public DNS servers.
