DNS Lookup for IP Address
DNS (Domain Name System) lookup allows you to resolve a domain name to an IP address or reverse the process. This tool supports reverse DNS lookups to find hostnames associated with any IP address.
Types of DNS Lookups You Can Perform:
- A Record Lookup: Maps domain to IPv4 address.
- AAAA Record Lookup: Maps domain to IPv6 address.
- PTR Record (Reverse DNS): Maps IP to hostname.
- MX Record: Identifies email server.
- TXT Record: Displays SPF, DKIM, and other DNS text data.
How to Lookup IP Address Owner
This tool queries WHOIS databases and public geolocation APIs to identify the registered owner or provider of an IP address. This is especially useful when dealing with unknown IP traffic or suspected malicious activity.
Example: IP Address Lookup
| Example IP | Lookup Result |

IP Address Lookup Using Command Prompt
Windows Command Prompt
- Open CMD and use
nslookup [domain]to get IP details. - Use
tracert [IP address]to trace routing paths. - Use
whois [IP](requires third-party tool or WSL).
Linux / macOS Terminal
dig [domain]ordig -x [IP]for reverse lookup.whois [IP]to view owner details.host [IP]for basic hostname info.
