How to use this tool
Displays only A records (IPv4 addresses). CNAMEs and other record types returned alongside an answer are excluded.
Enter the target, complete any relevant options and choose Check. Review the requested records, query outcomes and diagnostic findings. Copy Report saves the visible report.
Reading the results
No matching records and an unavailable query are different outcomes. TTLs are displayed in seconds; zero is a valid TTL. A completed request does not mean a domain passed its health checks. Only the submitted DNS owner and explicitly listed checks are inspected.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does one hostname return several A records?
A service can publish several IPv4 addresses for load distribution or resilience. DNS clients may receive those addresses in a changing order.
Can a website work without an A record?
Yes. A hostname may use an AAAA record for IPv6 or a CNAME pointing elsewhere. The final destination still needs an address record.
Why does the result show an old server address?
A recursive resolver may retain the previous A record until its TTL ends. Confirm the authoritative zone before changing the record again.
What does a private IPv4 address in an A record mean?
Addresses such as 10.0.0.1 are not routed across the public internet. A public website normally needs a publicly reachable address.
Can this tool check an A record for a subdomain?
Yes. Submit the complete subdomain. The lookup requests A records for that exact hostname rather than its parent domain.
Does the returned IPv4 address identify the hosting company?
Not always. A reverse proxy or content delivery network can hide the origin server behind its own public address.
