DNS Lookup
Processing: API. Processed by cent-ai's API: sent to our server, held in memory, never stored.Enter a hostname to see its A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS records. Nothing you enter here is stored or logged.
How to use it
- Enter a hostname, e.g.
example.com. - Records appear automatically, or select “Look up” to run it immediately.
- Copy the result to your clipboard.
Example
Select “Use example” above to load a sample hostname, or try input like:
example.com
Privacy and security
- The hostname is sent to our API only to issue the DNS queries; it is never persisted or logged.
- Requests are not included in analytics or error reporting.
- Request bodies are limited in size to keep the service responsive for everyone.
Limitations
- Only A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS records are queried — no SOA, SRV, or CAA.
- Uses the API server’s configured DNS resolver; DNSSEC validation status is not reported.
FAQ
Which record types are queried?
A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, and NS. SOA, SRV, and CAA records are not supported today.
Why don't I see a record type I expected?
Only record types that actually resolve for the hostname are shown. If a domain has no MX records, for example, no MX line appears.
Does this tool connect to the hostname's server?
No — it only issues DNS queries against the API server's configured resolver. It never opens a connection to the addresses it finds.
