A CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps an alias name to the true or canonical domain name. When you perform an nslookup using our CNAME Record DNS Lookup tool, it queries DNS servers to retrieve the canonical names associated with the specified domain. This helps you verify if your domain aliases are correctly pointing to the intended domains, which is essential for domain redirection and subdomain management.
Simply enter the domain or subdomain you wish to check, and our tool will provide you with the CNAME records, if any, associated with it. This allows you to perform a comprehensive DNS lookup and ensure that your domain configurations are correct.
A CNAME (Canonical Name) record is used in DNS to alias one name to another. For example, you might have blog.example.com point to example.com using a CNAME record. This is useful when multiple domain names need to resolve to the same IP address or when pointing subdomains to external services.
Performing a DNS check for CNAME records helps ensure that your domain aliases are correctly set up, preventing potential accessibility issues for users trying to reach your website or services.
