DNS and Domain Tools

IP Lookup

Resolve domains to public IP addresses or check reverse DNS for an IP.

Run the check

Enter a public target. Checks are a point-in-time sample; private and internal addresses are blocked.

What this tool checks

  • A and AAAA records for hostnames
  • Reverse DNS for IP addresses
  • Public IP validation

Why it matters

IP lookup confirms what infrastructure a hostname points to.

Plain-English examples

  • Find IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for a website

Recommended fixes

  • Avoid pointing public DNS at private IP ranges
  • Add reverse DNS for mail servers

Understanding the result

Use findings as a starting point, confirm the intended configuration with your provider, and retest after a change. A successful check does not guarantee security, delivery, uptime or search rankings. Results depend on public DNS and what the server exposes at the time of the check.
