The Whois®DNS Lookup is a browser based network tool that displays the DNS information critical for identifying who is hosting a particular domain name or website. The Whois®DNS lookup displays as a default, the basic set of DNS records, including;

• A records
• NS records
• MX record

We've also made it easy to perform advanced DNS queries, including;

• AAAA records
• SOA records
• TXT records
• AXFR or "Zone" records

To perform a DNS lookup on a domain name's publicly available DNS details, type a domain name into the query box found on this page, or if you prefer to send your DNS queries encrypted, you can do a secured DNS Lookup from our new EVSSL Secured DNS lookup server.
