A powerful DNS and IP lookup tool that provides detailed information about IP addresses and domain names. Check geolocation, ISP, hostname, DNS records, and more. Get your public IP address instantly. Perfect for network administrators, developers, and troubleshooting.
What is DNS/IP Lookup?
DNS/IP Lookup is a tool that retrieves information about IP addresses and domain names. It provides:
- IP geolocation (country, city, coordinates)
- ISP and organization information
- Hostname and reverse DNS
- DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, etc.)
- ASN (Autonomous System Number)
- Timezone and postal code
This information is useful for network troubleshooting, security analysis, and understanding internet infrastructure.
How do I use this tool?
Using the DNS/IP Lookup tool:
1. Choose lookup type:
- My IP Address: See your public IP
- IP Lookup: Get information about an IP address
- DNS Lookup: Check DNS records for a domain
2. For IP Lookup:
- Enter an IP address (e.g., 8.8.8.8)
- Click 'Lookup'
- View geolocation, ISP, and other details
3. For DNS Lookup:
- Enter a domain name (e.g., google.com)
- Click 'Lookup'
- View DNS records (A, MX, TXT, etc.)
The tool uses multiple free public APIs to ensure accurate results.
What information can I get from IP Lookup?
IP Lookup provides comprehensive information:
Location Data:
- Country, region, and city
- Latitude and longitude coordinates
- Timezone
- Postal code
Network Information:
- ISP (Internet Service Provider)
- Organization name
- ASN (Autonomous System Number)
- Hostname (reverse DNS)
This data comes from public databases and WHOIS information. Note that IP geolocation is approximate and may not pinpoint exact physical locations.
What are DNS records?
DNS (Domain Name System) records map domain names to IP addresses and other information:
Common record types:
- A Record: Maps domain to IPv4 address
- AAAA Record: Maps domain to IPv6 address
- MX Record: Mail server for the domain
- CNAME Record: Canonical name (alias)
- TXT Record: Text information (SPF, DKIM, etc.)
- NS Record: Name servers for the domain
- SOA Record: Start of authority
DNS records are essential for websites, email, and internet services to function properly.
Why might my IP location be wrong?
IP geolocation is not always precise:
Reasons for inaccuracy:
- IP databases may be outdated
- ISPs may assign IPs regionally
- VPN or proxy changes apparent location
- Mobile networks route through different regions
- Corporate networks use centralized IPs
IP geolocation typically provides:
- Accurate country (95%+)
- Accurate region/state (80%+)
- Approximate city (60%+)
- Very approximate coordinates
For precise location, GPS is needed. IP lookup is best for regional identification, not exact addresses.
Is my data safe?
Privacy and security:
- IP lookups query public databases
- Your searches are not logged by us
- Requests go directly from your browser to public APIs
- No personal data is stored
- IP addresses are public information
Note: When you perform a lookup, the target API providers may log the request. We use reputable free services like ipapi.co and ip-api.com.
Your IP address is already visible to every website you visit - this tool just helps you understand what information is publicly available.
