DNS Lookup
Look up every DNS record of a domain: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA and CAA, plus reverse PTR for IP addresses.
About DNS Lookup
DNS records decide where a domain's website, email and verification codes point. This tool asks public DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers directly, so you see what the rest of the internet sees right now, not a cached copy from your own computer. Use it after changing hosting, setting up Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 email, or adding a verification TXT record.
Records shown include A and AAAA (server addresses), CNAME (aliases), MX (mail servers), NS (name servers), TXT (SPF, verification codes), SOA (zone details) and CAA (which certificate authorities may issue SSL for the domain). Enter an IP address to find its PTR (reverse DNS) name.

- 1Type a domain name (or an IP address for reverse lookup).
- 2Pick “All common” or a single record type.
- 3Press Check to query public DNS resolvers.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I still see old records after changing DNS?
Each record has a TTL (time to live). Resolvers may keep the old answer until that many seconds pass. Lower the TTL before planned changes to make them spread faster.
What does DNSSEC “Signed” mean?
The answers carry a cryptographic signature that the resolver verified, which protects visitors from forged DNS responses.
Is DNS Lookup free?
Yes. DNS Lookup on Apex Tool Station is 100% free with no signup and no watermark. Browser tools have no usage limits.
Do you store the websites or domains I check?
No. Our server makes the request, sends the result back to your browser and keeps nothing. Private and internal network addresses are blocked for safety.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. The tool works on any modern browser on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and Linux.
