Domain to IP Converter
Type a domain name and resolve it to the IP addresses it really points to — IPv4 and IPv6 — plus the hosting network, ASN and approximate location behind them.
How a domain name becomes an IP address
Computers don't connect to names — they connect to numbers. When your browser asks for example.com, DNS looks up the domain's A record (its IPv4 address) and AAAA record (its IPv6 address), and that's where the connection actually goes. This tool performs that resolution live and shows you what the network sees.
What the results tell you
- Multiple addresses — big sites publish several A/AAAA records to spread traffic across servers or datacenters. Browsers automatically pick one and fall back to the others if it fails.
- Hosting network — the ASN and organisation owning the address: a cloud provider (AWS, Cloudflare, OVH…), a dedicated host, or a home line (unusual for a real website).
- Approximate location — where the server sits, which also hints at where its audience is served from.
Common uses
- Verify a migration or DNS change — confirm a domain now points at the new server before cutting over traffic.
- Investigate a suspicious site — pair the resolved IP with the blacklist check, the proxy & VPN check and its reverse DNS for a full profile.
- Configure firewalls or allow-lists — some admin panels ask for the IP of a service instead of its name.
Remember: websites behind CDNs or load balancers may resolve to different addresses over time or from different regions. The IP you see is one valid answer, not a permanent identity.
Want every record type, not just addresses? Use the full DNS checker. Going the other way? Try the reverse IP lookup.
Domain to IP questions
How does a domain name become an IP address?
When you look up a domain, DNS resolvers read its A record (IPv4) and AAAA record (IPv6). Those records are what browsers actually connect to — the domain name is just the human-friendly handle for them.
Can one domain have several IP addresses?
Yes — large sites publish multiple A and AAAA records so traffic can be spread across several servers or points of presence. Your browser picks one (or falls back to another if the first fails).
Why does the IP I see change over time?
Websites move between servers, use load balancers or sit behind CDNs whose addresses vary by region and moment. If the domain's DNS changes, the IP you resolve today may not be the one you resolve tomorrow.
