Domain to IP Lookup: Find the IP Address of Any Domain

This free domain to IP lookup finds the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that a domain name points to. It also follows alias (CNAME) chains and shows the reverse DNS name of every address it finds.

What Is a Domain to IP Lookup?

A domain to IP lookup converts a website name into the numeric IP addresses that computers use to connect. When you type a name into your browser, a DNS lookup finds its address first. This tool performs the same lookup and shows you the full result.

It helps when you move hosting, point a domain to a new server, check whether a site sits behind a firewall service or want to know which servers handle a name.

How to Use This Tool

  1. Type a domain or subdomain, such as example.com or shop.example.com.
  2. Press Find IP.
  3. Read the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, their TTL and the reverse DNS name of each.
  4. If the name is an alias, check the CNAME chain shown below the addresses.

Understanding the Results

ColumnMeaning
VersionIPv4 comes from an A record, and IPv6 comes from an AAAA record.
IP addressThe address that the name points to.
TTLHow long resolvers may cache the answer before asking again.
Reverse DNSThe hostname the address maps back to, if the owner has set one.

The lookup follows the rules of the Domain Name System described in RFC 1035, which defines how domain names resolve.

Why a Domain Can Have Several Addresses

  • Load balancing. Busy sites spread visitors across many servers.
  • Content delivery networks. Services such as Cloudflare or Akamai answer with addresses close to the visitor.
  • Redundancy. If one server fails, others keep the site online.
  • Dual stack. The name has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, so it works on both kinds of network.

Practical Tips

After changing hosting

Run the lookup again and compare the address with the one your new host gave you. If it still shows the old address, wait for the TTL to pass.

When the address is not your server

If the result belongs to a firewall or content delivery service, that is normal. Find the owner of the address with the IP owner lookup.

Testing the connection

Once you know the address, send a test with the online ping tool or look at the route with the traceroute tool. To see whether the site also works over IPv6, run the IPv6 readiness test.

When a Domain to IP Lookup Helps Most

Run a domain to IP lookup before and after every hosting change, DNS edit or migration. It confirms that the name now points to the right server, and it exposes old addresses that visitors might still reach. It is also a quick way to see whether a competitor or partner uses a shared service. Save the addresses you find, because firewalls, allow-lists and email policies often need the exact IP and not the name.

Frequently Asked Questions

Large sites spread traffic over many servers for speed and reliability. DNS returns several addresses, and the visitor connects to one of them.
Your site may sit behind a content delivery network or firewall such as Cloudflare. The public address belongs to that service, which then forwards traffic to your real server.
An A record holds an IPv4 address and an AAAA record holds an IPv6 address. A domain can have both so it works on either kind of network.
Yes. Enter a name such as blog.example.com and the tool returns the addresses published for that exact name.
