Frequently Asked Questions

What are DNS records?
DNS records are instructions stored in DNS servers that map domain names to IP addresses and other data. Common types include A records (IPv4 addresses), AAAA records (IPv6), MX records (mail servers), and TXT records (verification data).
What is the difference between A and AAAA records?
A records map a domain to an IPv4 address (e.g., 93.184.216.34), while AAAA records map a domain to an IPv6 address (e.g., 2606:2800:220:1:248:1893:25c8:1946). Both serve the same purpose but for different IP versions.
What are MX records used for?
MX (Mail Exchange) records specify which mail servers handle email for a domain. They include a priority value, where lower numbers indicate higher priority servers.
Is this DNS lookup private?
Yes. The lookup is performed using DNS-over-HTTPS to public resolvers directly from your browser. Your queries are encrypted in transit and no data is stored on our servers.
Why might DNS records not be found?
Some domains may not have all record types configured. For example, a domain without email service may not have MX records. Also, recently changed records may take time to propagate.
