Easily check A records to find the IPv4 address of any domain. Use our A record checker to verify DNS settings and ensure your website resolves properly
An A record lookup shows the IPv4 addresses a domain or hostname points to. The A (address) record is what sends visitors to the right server: when someone opens example.com, their browser looks up its A record and connects to that IP.
example.com or www.example.com. They are separate names and can have different records.From a terminal: dig example.com A or nslookup example.com.
www doesn't (or the reverse). Each needs its own A record, or www needs a CNAME to the bare domain.192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x. Those are only reachable inside a local network.An A record maps a name directly to an IPv4 address. A CNAME maps a name to another name, whose own A record supplies the address. Use a CNAME when the target's IP may change, for example a hosted service.
A records hold IPv4 addresses (32 bits, like 203.0.113.7). AAAA records hold IPv6 addresses (128 bits, like 2001:db8::7). A domain can have both.
Look up its A record here to get the IP, then run a WHOIS lookup or IP lookup on that IP to see which provider holds it. If the IP belongs to a CDN, the origin server is hidden.
One hour (3600) is a common default. Lower it to around 300 seconds a day before a planned move so the change takes effect quickly, then raise it again.
