What is DNS Lookup?

DNS records connect a domain to websites, mail servers and verification services. This checker returns the most useful record types in one readable response.

Use DNS lookup after changing hosting, configuring a CDN, troubleshooting resolution or validating a new service.

READ THE OUTPUT

How to understand your results

Three signals that matter most when interpreting this tool.

01

Address records

A and AAAA records should point to the intended IPv4 and IPv6 hosting endpoints.

02

Routing records

CNAME, MX and NS records reveal where web, mail and authoritative DNS traffic is sent.

03

Policy records

TXT records commonly contain SPF, verification tokens and other service policies.

HOSTGRABER EXPERT GUIDE

Diagnosing DNS from authority to destination

A reliable DNS review starts with nameservers and moves toward individual records. NS records identify the authoritative provider, A and AAAA records route website traffic, CNAME records create aliases, MX records route mail and TXT records carry verification or security policies. A mistake at any layer can make a healthy server appear offline.

When moving a website to HostGraber, copy every required record before changing nameservers. Lowering TTL in advance can shorten the caching window, but old answers may remain visible until their previous TTL expires. Verify both the root domain and common hostnames such as www after the change.

PRACTICAL GUIDE

Getting a reliable answer from this tool

Domain, DNS and IP checks are most useful when records are reviewed together. A website can resolve correctly while mail, reverse DNS or a secondary hostname is still misconfigured. Use this result alongside authoritative nameserver checks and allow for DNS caching whenever records were changed recently.

For migrations, document the current state before editing anything. Compare the old and new answers, confirm the expected destination and keep unrelated records such as email authentication intact.

COMMON QUESTIONS

DNS Lookup FAQ

Clear answers for common dns lookup questions.

How long do DNS changes take?+

Updates may appear quickly, but cached records can remain until their TTL expires. Global propagation can therefore take several hours.

Why do I see different DNS answers?+

Resolvers may be serving cached data, geographic routing may return different endpoints, or nameservers may not be synchronized.

Does changing web hosting change email DNS?+

Not automatically. Preserve the existing MX and email-related TXT records when moving a website unless the email provider is changing too.
