Find Your DNS Records With Our Easy Online Tool

What is a DNS record?

The DNS records are the mapping files. These are the instructions in the DNS server to provide the following information about a domain. These records contain information about how to handle your mail.

DNS records are like a telephone book containing the person's name and contact details. Enter a domain name into your web browser’s address bar, and DNS servers are responsible for providing the domain's IP information so it can direct the user to the server with that IP address. The DNS Records tool allows you to retrieve the domain name records for the domain names you provide.

DNS lookup online

Online nslookup is a web-based DNS client that queries DNS records for a domain name. It allows you to view all the DNS records for a website. This website allows you to browse the Internet without installing any extra programs.

The nslookup.io does not cache the DNS responses it shows, but the DNS servers that are queried usually do respond with a cached record set. Except for authoritative DNS servers. They never serve cached DNS records.

How does online nslookup work?

Online NSLookup is easy to use. Enter a domain name in the text box above and press "Enter." A reverse lookup for the domain name you specified will take you to an overview of the DNS records for that domain name. entiretools.com is a service that allows you to query a DNS server for DNS records without caching the results.

You'll find a range of DNS servers on the result page, so it's essential to make sure you choose an excellent DNS.  Popular public DNS servers include Google Public DNS, OpenDNS, and Cloudflare DNS.

The default only shows A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, NS, MX, and SOA records, but you can select additional record types.

Supported DNS record types

Domain Name System has many record types that each serve a distinct purpose.

Record labels are constantly releasing new music, so there are many different types of records to collect. A list of obsolete record types is in Wikipedia. Entiretools.com does not support these types. Entiretools.com supports all the DNS record types known to be inactive.

Use cases for online DNS lookup

Online nslookup can be a handy tool in many situations. An integrated circuit (IC) chip must be packaged for its incorporation into an end-use application.

For example, when you configure your domain’s DNS records, it might be a good idea to check whether you have configured them properly. Enter the domain name at the top of this page to find more information.

As soon as you make any changes to DNS records, it may take a few hours for them to propagate through the entire DNS system. Your DNS server caches a DNS record to help speed up DNS resolution.

If you change your domain’s DNS record, you can discover if the change has been propagated by doing a DNS lookup. There are more use cases for online nslookup than just using a CLI, such as looking up hostnames or IP addresses for your computers.

These include being able to share the results with a colleague or friend and being able to see multiple record types at the same time.

Usage

Two versions of the tool are available. Enter a domain name in the text box to use the primary tool, then click Go.

When to Use It

The DNS Records tool can diagnose problems with a domain name's servers. If your domain name lookup doesn't work, you should use the tool to help find the root cause.

NsLookup

The NsLookup tool allows you to select the DNS servers to query and the types of records to request.

If you see issues in the DNS Lookup tool, but the records are valid, try using nslookup to point to a different DNS server.

NsLookup also lets you check if multiple servers report consistent and up-to-date information.

A Deeper Look

Domain name servers are responsible for passing on information between different servers.

Authoritative Servers

Domain Name Servers, or DNSs, are the first servers to receive Internet requests to look up domain names. This is the most authoritative DNS server, propagating the domain's information to the root servers and all the servers worldwide.

This process can take a couple of days. A DNS server will accept queries only for authoritative records, such as those for domains it owns. You can query a public server for additional information if you don't know who owns a domain name. Querying any DNS server that accepts your query will return the NS records. A DNS server is a critical component of an internet protocol suite that controls how a computer can connect to another computer. You can then repeat the query using the authoritative server to see if your results are consistent.

Root Servers

There are thirteen root DNS servers. They hold authoritative information on top-level domains using the most popular extensions. Com, org, and net are the Internet's top three most familiar names. They also hold several primary records for nearly all domains.

If the information on a new or changed domain hasn't propagated to the root servers, most clients won't be able to find that domain name.

DNS Propagation

A record's propagation speed depends mainly on its TTL (time to live) value. A cache timeout defines how long a DNS record should be cached on a local server (resolver.

The value at which a value range is set depends on the resolver. The TTL needs to be pretty low so that DNS records update more often.

Typical values for a typical computer or laptop are between 1 hour and 86400 seconds. There could be a delay between making the record available on the authoritative server and making it available.
