DoH Live DNS Lookup
Perform secure, privacy-respecting DNS queries directly from your browser using DNS-over-HTTPS (Cloudflare).
What is this tool?
The DNS Lookup tool queries live Domain Name System (DNS) records over HTTPS (DoH) via Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 DNS. It resolves standard DNS record types including A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), CNAME (canonical name), MX (mail exchange), TXT (text records), NS (name server), and SOA (start of authority).
How to check DNS records for a domain
- Enter a domain hostname (such as example.com) in the search field.
- Select the DNS record type to query (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, SOA, or ANY).
- Click Lookup to query the authoritative DNS infrastructure using secure DNS over HTTPS.
- Inspect returned records, TTL (Time-To-Live) values, and raw response details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is DNS over HTTPS (DoH)?
DNS over HTTPS performs DNS lookups via encrypted HTTPS connections rather than plaintext UDP on port 53, preventing eavesdropping and tampering by local network intermediaries.
Why might my DNS records show older values?
DNS records use Time-To-Live (TTL) caching. When you update a DNS record, caching resolvers around the world continue serving the old cached record until its TTL expires.
What is the difference between an A record and a CNAME record?
An A record directly maps a domain name to an IPv4 address, whereas a CNAME (Canonical Name) record aliases one domain name to another domain name.
What are MX records used for?
MX (Mail Exchange) records specify the mail servers responsible for accepting incoming email messages on behalf of your domain, including priority rankings.
