The Domain Name System (DNS) translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses. A DNS Lookup queries authoritative nameservers to fetch specific records (A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, TXT) associated with your domain.
When you change your domain's hosting, the new IP address must propagate across global DNS caches. This tool checks multiple resolvers worldwide to ensure your updates are visible everywhere.
Different records serve specific functional purposes in your network architecture:
Results may vary depending on network conditions, routing paths, and server configuration.
When you update your DNS records, it takes time for the changes to spread across the internet. This tool helps you see the current records as seen from different global locations.
This is common during propagation. Different DNS resolvers across the globe may have cached older information.
