A Record Lookup Tool

Find the IPv4 addresses a domain points to. Real-time resolution via Google and Cloudflare DNS.

A record lookup

Enter a domain to look up its A records.

What is an A record?

An A (Address) record is the most fundamental DNS record: it maps a hostname to an IPv4 address. When someone visits your domain, their resolver reads the A record to find the server that should answer.

A domain can have multiple A records for redundancy or load distribution. This tool queries public resolvers and shows every IPv4 address the hostname currently resolves to.

Frequently asked questions

What is an A record used for?+

An A record points a domain or subdomain to an IPv4 address, telling browsers and other clients which server to connect to. It is the record that makes example.com resolve to a specific server.

Can a domain have more than one A record?+

Yes. Multiple A records are common for redundancy and simple round-robin load balancing. Resolvers may return them in a rotating order so traffic is spread across servers.

Why does my A record differ between tools?+

DNS is cached at many levels. If you recently changed a record, some resolvers may still serve the old value until the TTL expires. This tool queries Google (8.8.8.8) and Cloudflare (1.1.1.1).
