How to use DNS Lookup

DNS Lookup. A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME records. Your computer may use cached answers from your ISP's resolver.

Open DNS Lookup

The short answer

To look up DNS records, enter a domain and record type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA, CAA, SRV, PTR). ClickZM queries Google and Cloudflare public DNS over HTTPS and shows each record with its TTL and DNSSEC status.

Your browser asks public DNS-over-HTTPS resolvers directly. The answer is what those resolvers see, not your computer's cache.

How to use it

Enter the website address, domain or IP you want to check.

Click the button to run the DNS Lookup.

Read the results; warnings and errors are highlighted with an explanation.

Fix any issue, then run the check again to confirm.

Limits worth knowing

Why do results differ from my computer? Your computer may use cached answers from your ISP's resolver. Public resolvers show the current published records once caches expire (after the TTL).

What does the TTL mean? Time to live: how many seconds resolvers may cache the record before asking again.
