Raw answer output
Dig (online)
Dig performs a precise DNS query and returns the raw answer section, just like the command-line tool — including the response status, query time and the resolver used. Ideal when you want exact records without parsing a full report.
Run a Dig test →What it measures
- Answer-section records for the queried type
- Response status (NOERROR, NXDOMAIN, …) and query time
- The resolver the answer came from
How to read the results
- NOERROR with answers means the record exists and resolved cleanly.
- NXDOMAIN means the name does not exist at all.
- An empty answer with NOERROR means the name exists but not for that record type.
Frequently asked questions
How is dig different from DNS Lookup?
DNS Lookup shows a friendly multi-record table; dig returns a single record type's raw answer section, closer to the CLI output.
What does NXDOMAIN mean?
The domain name does not exist in DNS — often a typo or an expired/unregistered domain.
