DNS Lookup (DIG)
Comments
DIG is a classic DNS diagnostic utility, and our online tool follows the same logic but in a more convenient format: you enter a domain, choose a record type, and get the answer straight from the DNS server. All the main record types are supported: A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, SOA, CNAME, SRV, CAA, DNSKEY, DS, NAPTR, and PTR for reverse DNS lookups by IP address.
You can also pick one of several resolvers separately: our server's system DNS, Google (8.8.8.8), Cloudflare (1.1.1.1), or Quad9 (9.9.9.9). This is handy when you want to compare what records a specific public DNS server returns, or check whether changes have propagated after editing a zone. The tool comes in useful when setting up mail (MX, TXT for SPF/DKIM), delegating a domain (NS), troubleshooting resolution issues, or verifying that an A record is up to date after a hosting migration.
