Hostname to IP Lookup
Convert any domain name or hostname to its IP address(es) by querying DNS A and AAAA records.
Understanding Hostname to IP Resolution
How DNS Resolution Works
When you type a domain name, your system queries DNS servers to resolve it to an IP address. The system follows a chain from root servers → TLD servers (.com) → authoritative nameservers, which return A/AAAA records.
A vs. AAAA Records
- A Record: IPv4 address (e.g., 93.184.216.34)
- AAAA Record: IPv6 address (128-bit, newer format)
- TTL: How long the result is cached, in seconds
Common Uses
- Verify DNS propagation after changing hosting
- Troubleshoot website connectivity issues
- Identify CDN or load-balancing setup
- Network security investigations
Frequently Asked Questions
Enter the domain name above and click Lookup. DNS A and AAAA records will be returned instantly.
Large sites use multiple IPs for load balancing, CDN, and redundancy so traffic is distributed across multiple servers globally.
A = IPv4 address. AAAA = IPv6 address. Most modern websites support both for compatibility across all devices.
