🔵 DNS A Record Lookup

Query DNS A records to find the IPv4 addresses associated with any domain name. A records map domain names to their corresponding IPv4 addresses, making them essential for website accessibility and networking diagnostics.

Enter Domain Name:

💡 Tip: Enter a domain name and click "Lookup A Record" to retrieve all IPv4 addresses associated with that domain.

Enter a domain name and click "Lookup A Record" to view results.

Where this answer comes from

Your browser resolves nothing here. The domain you type is posted to SimpleMoney's API in AWS us-east-1, that server runs the A query, and the addresses it receives come back to the page. So what you are reading is the internet's view of the domain from a US East resolver — not what your own laptop, phone or office network would get.

That gap is the usual reason a result here disagrees with your own ping. Large sites deliberately answer with different addresses depending on where the question arrived from, so a CDN-hosted domain hands you one address and this server another. Both are correct.

Reading the addresses

An A record maps a name to a single IPv4 address written as four numbers, such as 93.184.216.34. A name may carry several, and all are listed.

Several addresses is round-robin. Any of them serves the site.
No records does not mean the domain is dead. It may be IPv6-only, so try the AAAA lookup, or the name may be a CNAME whose target holds the addresses.
A private address — anything in 10.x, 192.168.x or 172.16–31.x — published on a public name is nearly always a leftover from internal testing.

After you change an A record, this tool can keep showing the old address until the previous record's TTL runs out. The new TTL only shortens the next change.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this show a different IP than ping?

Because the query was made from a server in Virginia and yours was made from wherever you are. Anycast and geo-aware DNS send each of you to the nearest edge, so two different addresses for one name is normal, not a fault.

Can one domain have more than one A record?

Yes. Publishing several is the cheapest form of load spreading, and it is what most busy sites do. It is not failover though — DNS keeps handing out an address even after the machine behind it stops answering.

What is the difference between an A record and a CNAME?

An A record holds an address; a CNAME holds another name that must be resolved in turn. You cannot put a CNAME on the root of a domain, which is why apex names normally use A records or a provider's alias record.
