What Is a DNS Record?

A DNS record contains information about how a domain works on the internet. Different record types are used for websites, email servers, domain nameservers, verification and other services.

Common DNS Record Types

A Record

An A record points a domain name to an IPv4 address.

AAAA Record

An AAAA record points a domain name to an IPv6 address.

MX Record

An MX record specifies the mail servers responsible for receiving email for a domain.

CNAME Record

A CNAME record creates an alias from one domain name to another hostname.

NS Record

NS records identify the authoritative nameservers for a domain.

TXT Record

TXT records can store text information used for domain verification, email authentication and other purposes.

Why Use a DNS Lookup Tool?

DNS Lookup can help website owners, developers and network administrators troubleshoot domain configuration, verify DNS changes and understand how a domain is configured.

How Long Do DNS Changes Take?

DNS changes may not appear everywhere immediately because DNS information can be cached by resolvers. The time required for changes to become visible can vary depending on DNS records and their TTL settings.
