Frequently asked questions
Where do the answers come from?
From Google’s public resolver via DNS-over-HTTPS (dns.google). It is free, key-free, and answers directly from your browser. Only the domain and record type are sent.
Which types can I query?
A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), MX (mail servers), TXT (SPF, DKIM, DMARC and ownership verifications), NS (name servers) and CNAME (alias to another name).
What is the TTL?
The “time to live” is how long, in seconds, a record can be cached before being queried again. A low TTL speeds up the propagation of changes.
Why do I see no records?
The domain may not have that record type (e.g. no MX if it doesn’t receive email), or it may be misspelled. Try another type or check the domain name.
