Look up the DNS records of a domain

Enter a domain name. The tool reads its A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS and TXT records and shows them.

The result is shown to you only. Pathly stores neither the address nor the result, and keeps no list of tested sites.

Frequently asked questions

What is each DNS record type for?

A and AAAA give the address of the site’s server. CNAME is an alias to another name. MX lists the servers that receive email. NS lists the domain’s name servers. TXT holds text such as SPF.

Why does the result differ from what my host shows?

A DNS change takes time to spread, from a few minutes to 48 hours depending on cache duration. The tool asks a resolver from Europe, at the moment of the request.

Does Pathly keep the domain I enter?

No. The result is shown to you only. Pathly stores neither the domain nor the result.
