What is the DNS Lookup?
DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names into IP addresses and stores records for email, verification and more. Cubestack queries Google Public DNS over HTTPS and shows the records for the domain and type you choose.
How to use it
- 1
Enter a domain
Type a domain such as example.com — a full web address works too.
- 2
Pick a record type
Keep All records, or choose A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, TXT, SOA or CAA.
- 3
Look up
Review the records, their TTL and the SPF and DMARC checks.
- 4
Download a backup
Save the records as a zone file (to import into a DNS provider), CSV (for Excel) or JSON.
Features
Download a backup
Save the records as CSV, a zone file your DNS provider can import, or JSON — handy if a provider goes down or you move hosts.

Frequently asked questions
Why don't I see my new record?
DNS changes take time to propagate and cached records persist until their TTL expires.
What is an MX record?
It tells the internet which mail servers receive email for the domain.
Where do SPF and DMARC live?
In TXT records — SPF on the domain itself, DMARC at _dmarc.yourdomain.com.
How do I back up my DNS records?
Look up your domain with All records, then choose Zone file. Most providers, including Cloudflare, can import it. The backup covers the records of that exact name; look up important subdomains (like www or mail) separately.
