About A records

An A record maps a domain or hostname to an IPv4 address — the server that answers when someone visits it. A domain can have several A records for redundancy or load balancing.

This lookup queries your A (IPv4 address) records in real time over DNS-over-HTTPS, so you see exactly what resolvers see right now — useful for verifying changes, auditing a setup, or troubleshooting.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Got Questions? We Have Answers.

What is an A record?

An A record maps a domain or hostname to an IPv4 address — the server that responds when someone visits it. A domain can have multiple A records.

Why does a domain have several A records?

Multiple A records provide redundancy and simple load balancing, letting resolvers spread traffic across several servers.

Is this lookup live?

Yes. A records are resolved in real time over DNS-over-HTTPS, so you see the currently published IPv4 addresses.

What is the difference between an A and AAAA record?

An A record points to an IPv4 address; an AAAA record points to an IPv6 address. Many domains publish both.

What does the TTL mean?

TTL is how long, in seconds, resolvers may cache the record. Lower values propagate changes faster.

My A record change is not showing — why?

DNS caches for the previous TTL. Wait for it to expire, then re-check; the DNS Propagation Checker can confirm rollout worldwide.
