DNS Lookup

DNS lookups tool translate easy-to-remember numbers into IP addresses, which are the domain names.

What is a DNS lookup?

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which is a global network of servers that store and manage information about domain names and their corresponding IP addresses. Domain names are the names that we use to identify websites and online services, such as google.com, wikipedia.org, or amazon.com. 

What DNS record types can be looked up?

For example, www.toolkitnoe.info could host a website (A record), send and receive email (MX record), and access VoIP (SRV record) with its DNS records. There are many different types of DNS records used for different purposes. Each of these services uses a different DNS record type.

A Records

A record storing IPv6 addresses known as an address v6 or IPv6 DNS record.

MX Records

Using DNS records, Mail Exchangers determine which server handles email for a domain name.

NS Records

DNs for nameservers contain the authoritative nameservers for domain names.

TXT Records

In DNS records, text records are used to store notes, but they are most commonly used to store configuration settings for a variety of services, such as SPF records for determining which email servers are allowed to send email from a domain or verification codes for webmaster applications.

SOA Records

Domain name start of authority DNS records store meta-data about a domain name, including the domain's administrator contact email address and when its DNS configuration was last modified.

A DNS record for Certificate Authority Authorizations indicates what certificate authorities are allowed to issue certificates for a domain.
