DNS lookup tool (aka DNS tester)prints DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, NS, SOA, MX, TXT) for a given domain.
For domains using geo aware DNS servers, displayed data will depend on the ip address of the DNS client.
DNS lookup tool will use ip address of our server (173.255.203.148).
Please remember that changes to the DNS configuration may take hours or even days to propagate around the world.
Most common type of DNS records are explained below.
| Type | DNS Record Explanation |
| A | ipv4 address record is used to map hostname to ipv4 address |
| AAAA | ipv6 address record is used to map hostname to ipv6 address |
| CNAME | canonical name record is an alias for another DNS record |
| NS | nameserver record points to authoritative name servers |
| SOA | authoritative record contains authoritative information about DNS zone |
| MX | mail exchange record points to mail serve |
| TXT | text record contains arbitrary text. It is often used for domain ownership verification and in SPF (Sender Policy Framework) to specify who can send email for given domain |
