About the Online dig

The dig command without a terminal: choose a record type, query any domain, and read the complete response including the authority and additional sections.

• Full response sections, not just the answer
• Any record type, including less common ones
• No local install — useful from a locked-down machine

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between dig and nslookup?

dig shows the complete DNS response including flags and section detail, which makes it the better tool for debugging. nslookup is simpler and shows just the answer.

Can I query a specific nameserver?

Yes — that is the usual way to confirm an authoritative server has your change before caches expire.
