What is the DNS Lookup?
The DNS Lookup is part of the ABD Web Tools Website Tools collection. Its job is simple: query A, MX, TXT and CNAME records. Instead of juggling desktop apps, browser extensions or paid subscriptions, you open one page, inspect what you have and get a usable result immediately.
Requests are processed securely on our servers and nothing is stored after your result is returned. There are no daily limits, no accounts to create and no hidden upsells — the tool behaves exactly the same on your first visit and your thousandth.
