What is a DNS Lookup?

The DNS record checker tool helps you conduct a DNS record lookup for your domain, but what is a DNS lookup? A DNS lookup is a request for information about a domain name. 

When you enter a website’s URL in your browser, you’re performing a DNS query request on that domain. A DNS lookup is what happens when your computer asks the Domain Name System (DNS) for the IP address associated with that domain name.

Types of DNS Record Lookups

These are the main types of DNS lookups:

  • Recursive:

    A recursive DNS lookup returns all records associated with the domain name, including any subdomains.

  • Non-recursive:

    A non-recursive DNS record lookup only returns records for the specified domain name itself.
