DNS Lookup
Every DNS record of a domain, gathered into one readable table.
| Type | Value |
|---|
DNS is the address book of the internet: it connects your domain name to your web server, your mailboxes and your third-party services. When a site goes down or emails start landing in spam, the culprit is very often a single wrong DNS record. This tool queries any domain and lays out all its records — A and AAAA (server addresses), CNAME (aliases), MX (mail routing), TXT (SPF, DKIM, ownership proofs), NS (name servers), SOA and CAA — in clean per-type tables. Perfect for double-checking a migration, debugging email delivery or verifying what an agency or host actually configured. Free and instant, nothing to install.
How does it work?
- Enter the domain name to query (e.g. orqeo.com, without https://).
- Click “Look up” to run the DNS resolution.
- Browse the tables by record type: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CAA.
- Compare the values with what your host or registrar says they should be.
Frequently asked questions
What do A, CNAME, MX and TXT records mean?
The A record maps the domain to the server’s IPv4 address (AAAA for IPv6). A CNAME is an alias pointing to another name. MX records name the servers that receive your email, in priority order. TXT records hold free-form text: SPF and DKIM anti-spam rules, ownership verifications for Google or Microsoft, and more.
I changed my DNS but still see the old value. Why?
Every record has a time-to-live (TTL) during which resolvers cache the old value. Depending on the TTL, propagation takes anywhere from minutes to 48 hours. Nothing is wrong — just check again later.
My emails go to spam — could DNS be the reason?
Very often, yes. Check your TXT records for an SPF rule (“v=spf1…”), a DKIM signature and ideally a DMARC policy. Without them, receiving mail servers have no way to trust your messages.
What is a CAA record?
It lists the certificate authorities allowed to issue SSL certificates for your domain. Optional but recommended: it prevents rogue certificates from being issued in your name.
