DOMAIN TOOLS

DNS lookup for your UK website and email

Review the DNS records behind your domain when you connect hosting, move email or troubleshoot a change. Check the relevant A, AAAA, MX, TXT and other records, then compare the result with the settings supplied by your service provider.

START WITH THE DOMAIN

Look at the right information.

Registration information and DNS records answer different questions. A result should be interpreted alongside the actual service configuration.

Domain Name System records

DNS records connect your domain to website hosting, email and other services. A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME and NS records each serve a different purpose.

Keep a record of the current settings before changing a live domain. If a result is unclear, share the domain, record type and what you expected to see with the support team.

Read public DNS records. This tool does not change your domain settings.

A little clarity

Your questions, answered.

Does a DNS lookup change my domain?

A lookup reads information; changing DNS is a separate operation. Keep a record of the current settings and understand what a proposed change affects before applying it.

Why might a result differ from what I expected?

Check the exact domain, record type and service you are investigating. DNS and registration information answer different questions, and recently changed information may need further review.

Should I share passwords for a lookup?

No. A general domain-information question should not require a mailbox or hosting password. Use the client area for account-specific support and describe the result or error you see.

Where can I review domain charges?

The domain price list explains registration, renewal and transfer options. The client area confirms availability, premium-name charges, eligibility and final pricing before you order.
