NicSRS Announces New DNS Lookup Tool to Enhance User Experience

NicSRS has announced the launch of its DNS lookup tool, adding another free and helpful tool to its tool lineup. This tool allows users to find the IP address of any domain name and see all DNS records.
DNS stands for domain name system. The system helps to convert a hostname to an IP address. You can think of it as phonebook of the Internet. For example, if we want to visit the website of Google, we'd enter its address www.google.com (domain name) in the address bar. Browsers or computers will not recognize the name, but DNS servers will translate the domain name into a computer-friendly IP address (e.g 172.217.194.105). Compared with long strings of numbers, domain names are so much easier for people to remember because they usually include the websites' names. (With this DNS lookup tool, you can easily reach IP addresses of any domains). They point to the same destination.

Although the DNS lookup can be performed through command line tools provided by operating systems, it's inconvenient and difficult for non-tech users. To make this process easier and quicker, NicSRS has offered its DNS lookup tool for free and it's very simple to use. Enter a valid URL in the search bar, select a DNS record type and click on the "Check" button to fetch all DNS records. Different types of DNS records are used for different purposes. For the time being, this version of DNS Lookup Tool by NicSRS supports the query on the following record types.

A Record lookup - also known as address record, provides an IPv4 address to a domain name
CAA Record lookup - this is the certificate authority authorization record
NS Record lookup - the name server record points to the DNS servers authoritative to handle any query related to a domain
CNAME - also known as canonical name record, maps an alias name to a true or canonical domain name
TXT - the text record is typically used to store configuration settings
MX - the mail exchange record tells which email servers are responsible for handling email for the domain name.
AAAA - IPv6 addresses

The tool is very useful and handy in many situations. Website administrators can easily check that they have configured the correct DNS records for their domains. If an IP address changes due to configuration, users are able to get the update from this lookup tool. A quick DNS check for all of the most common DNS types is also made easy. Regularly checking DNS records is a good practice for website administrators to address misconfiguration issues in a timely manner. The tool is ready to use here: https://www.nicsrs.com/dns-lookup
