DNS Lookup

Resolve a domain’s A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT and CNAME records in one place.

Record types

Reading your DNS records

DNS is the address book of the internet: it maps your domain to the servers that host your site and mail. When something looks wrong here — a missing MX, an unexpected A record, the wrong nameservers — it usually explains an outage or a delivery problem.

A / AAAA

The IPv4 / IPv6 addresses your domain points to.

MX

The mail servers that receive email for your domain.

NS

The nameservers authoritative for your zone.

TXT

Verification and policy records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, ownership).

CNAME

Aliases that point one name at another.

DNSSEC

Signatures that let resolvers detect tampered answers. This lookup doesn’t validate them — use a dedicated DNSSEC validator.

Frequently asked questions

A DNS lookup queries the Domain Name System for a domain’s records — the A/AAAA addresses it points to, the MX servers that receive its mail, the NS nameservers that host its zone, and TXT/CNAME records used for verification and aliases.

Yes — that’s what CompleteStatus does. It snapshots your records and alerts you the moment an A, MX or NS record changes unexpectedly, which is an early sign of a hijack or misconfiguration.
