DNS Lookup & WHOIS

Problem: Why DNS Lookup Matters

When a website is down, email is not delivering, or you need to verify domain ownership, you need DNS data. Typing nslookup or whois commands requires terminal access and technical knowledge.

How We Solve This

• One-Click Lookup: No terminal needed, just enter a domain name
• Complete Picture: DNS records + WHOIS registration in one view
• AI Cannot Do This: AI chatbots cannot query live DNS servers or WHOIS databases. They only have cached or outdated data
• Real-Time Data: Every query fetches fresh data from authoritative DNS servers

What Each Record Type Means

• A: IPv4 address - maps domain to an IP address
• AAAA: IPv6 address - maps domain to an IPv6 address
• MX: Mail exchange - specifies email servers for the domain
• NS: Name servers - authoritative DNS servers for the domain
• SOA: Start of authority - primary name server and admin contact
• TXT: Text records - SPF, DKIM, verification tokens

Common Use Cases

Why is my website not loading?

Check the A record to verify the domain points to the correct IP address. If the A record is missing or points to a wrong IP, that is why your site is not reachable.

Why are my emails not being delivered?

Check the MX records to see if they point to the correct mail server. Missing or incorrect MX records will cause email delivery failures.

How do I check if a domain is registered?

The WHOIS section shows the domain registration date, expiration date, registrar, and owner information. If WHOIS returns no data, the domain may be available.

What is DNS propagation?

When you change DNS records, it takes time for the changes to spread across all DNS servers worldwide. This is called propagation and typically takes 1-48 hours depending on TTL settings.

Is WHOIS data always accurate?

Due to privacy regulations (GDPR) and domain privacy services, many domains show redacted or proxy contact information. Technical data like name servers and dates remains accurate.
