    A Record Lookup

    Find the IPv4 address that any domain name resolves to.

    What is a A record?

    An A record (Address record) maps a domain name to an IPv4 address — a dotted-quad like 93.184.216.34. It's the most fundamental DNS record and the one that lets browsers connect to the right server when a visitor types your domain.

    Looking up a domain's A record tells you which server currently hosts the site. If you're migrating hosting, debugging an outage, or checking that a recent IP change has propagated, this is usually the first record you check. If you need reliable hosting with a static IP, Netspace India offers Linux and Windows web hosting plans starting at ₹199/month.

    Common uses

    • Verify that your domain points to your hosting server's IP
    • Check whether a DNS change has been published
    • Confirm a competitor's hosting provider
    • Debug a website outage by comparing expected vs resolved IP

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is an A record?
    An A record (Address record) is a DNS entry that maps a domain name to an IPv4 address, enabling browsers and other clients to find the server hosting a website.
    Can a domain have multiple A records?
    Yes. Multiple A records are commonly used for load balancing — a resolver will return them in rotation, distributing traffic across several servers.
    What's the difference between an A record and a CNAME?
    An A record points directly to an IP address. A CNAME points to another domain name, which must then be resolved to find the actual IP. CNAMEs cannot be used at the root (apex) of a zone.
    How long does an A record change take to propagate?
    Usually anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours, depending on the TTL (Time To Live) set on the record. Use our DNS propagation checker to see which public resolvers have picked up your new A record.
    Why is my A record lookup empty?
    Either the domain doesn't exist, or it uses only AAAA (IPv6) records, or the domain's authoritative DNS servers are unreachable. Try the NS lookup to see which nameservers are responsible.
