DNS Lookup

Look up A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME and SOA records for any domain — grouped by type. Free, no signup.

>

DNS is what turns your domain into an address and tells the world where its mail goes. When something breaks, the answer is usually sitting in one of these records. This tool pulls the common types in a single query and lays them out by type, so you can confirm a change actually landed or work out why mail isn’t arriving.

How it works

  1. 01

    Enter a domain

    Type a hostname like example.com — drop the https:// and any path, just the domain is enough.

  2. 02

    Run the lookup

    Sitewell queries A, AAAA, MX, TXT, NS, CNAME and SOA records and groups whatever it finds by type.

  3. 03

    Read or export

    Scan the records grouped by type, then copy or download them as CSV for your records.

Frequently asked questions

Which DNS records does this tool return?
It queries the seven record types people reach for most: A and AAAA for IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, MX for mail routing, TXT for things like SPF and domain verification, NS for the authoritative name servers, CNAME for aliases, and SOA for the zone's start-of-authority details. A domain rarely has all seven, so any type with no records is simply left out.
Why are some record types empty?
Most domains only publish a handful of record types. A root domain usually has A or AAAA records but no CNAME, for example. An empty type means the domain has nothing configured there, not that the lookup failed.
I just changed a record and don't see it yet. Why?
DNS changes take time to propagate, and resolvers cache answers until the record's TTL expires. If you updated something minutes ago, give it up to the old TTL before expecting the new value everywhere.
What does the MX number mean?
The number in front of each MX record is its priority. Mail servers try the lowest number first and fall back to higher ones, so a smaller value means that server is preferred for delivery.
