What Is a Website to IP Lookup?
A website to IP lookup finds the numeric IP address
that a website's domain name points to — translating something like
google.com
into an address like 142.250.185.78.
This is also called a domain to IP lookup.
Both terms describe the same process: querying the Domain Name System (DNS)
to find which server IP address a domain currently resolves to.
Every website you visit requires this translation.
When you type a URL into your browser, DNS resolves the domain name
to an IP address behind the scenes — the browser then connects to that IP
to load the page.
This tool makes that resolution visible, returning all
IPv4 (A record) and IPv6 (AAAA record)
addresses the domain uses, via a live query to
Google's public DNS resolver (8.8.8.8).
How to Do a Website to IP Lookup
Find the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of any website or domain in seconds — no technical knowledge required.
2
Click Find IP Addresses
Click Find IP Addresses — the tool queries Google's public DNS resolver for both A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) records simultaneously.
3
Review All IP Addresses Returned
The results table shows all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses the domain currently resolves to. Large sites and CDNs return multiple IPs — each is a different server.
4
Investigate Any IP Further
Click WHOIS or Blacklist next to any IP to find its registered owner or check its reputation — without leaving the page or copy-pasting the address.

How to Find a Website's IP Address Without a Tool
Every major operating system includes built-in command-line tools
that perform DNS resolution. Here are the commands for each platform —
replace example.com with the domain you want to look up.
Windows Command Prompt (nslookup)
nslookup -q=A example.com
nslookup -q=AAAA example.com
nslookup example.comResults appear under Non-authoritative answer. "Non-authoritative" means the response came from a caching resolver, not the domain's own nameserver — the data may be up to TTL seconds old.
Windows PowerShell
Resolve-DnsName example.com -Type A
Resolve-DnsName example.com -Type AAAAMac / Linux dig
dig example.com A
dig example.com AAAA
dig example.com A && dig example.com AAAA
Results appear under the ANSWER SECTION.
The number before IN A is the TTL in seconds —
how long this result is cached by your resolver.
Mac / Linux nslookup
nslookup example.comThe online tool above is faster and returns results from a neutral external resolver — not your local ISP's resolver, which may return different results due to caching or ISP-specific DNS policies.
Why Does a Website Have Multiple IP Addresses?
When a domain resolves to more than one IP address, it is using one of two standard techniques:
| Technique | How It Works | Who Uses It |
|---|---|---|
| GeoDNS | Returns the IP of the nearest server based on the resolver's location | Google, Facebook, Cloudflare, Netflix |
| Round-Robin DNS | Rotates through a pool of IPs on each query to distribute server load | Load-balanced web servers, cloud platforms |
| CDN Anycast | Multiple servers share the same IP — routing is handled at the network level | Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai |
This is why a lookup for google.com returns different IPs each time — you are seeing the normal behavior of a globally distributed infrastructure, not an error.
Common Uses for a Domain to IP Lookup
Verifying a DNS Change After Hosting Migration: You move a site to a new server and update the A record. A domain to IP lookup checks whether the new IP is being returned by DNS. If the old IP still appears, your DNS TTL is still active — resolvers are serving the cached record. Use our DNS Lookup with Authoritative DNS to confirm the change is live at the source before waiting for global propagation.
Network Troubleshooting: A website is unreachable. Resolving the domain confirms whether DNS resolution is returning an IP at all. If an IP is returned, DNS is working — the problem is at the network or server level. Next step: use our Ping to test reachability to that IP, and Traceroute to identify where the connection breaks.
Security and Hosting Analysis: Identifying the infrastructure behind a domain. Resolving to an IP, then running an IP Location Lookup reveals the hosting provider and country. An IP WHOIS Lookup confirms the organization legally registered to that IP block — useful for identifying cloud providers, CDNs, or infrastructure shared across multiple domains.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Google's IP address?
Google doesn’t have a single IP address. google.com answers with different IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
depending on your location and the moment you ask, because its traffic is spread across many servers.
To see the addresses your query gets right now, look up google.com with this tool. If you mean Google’s
public DNS server, its addresses are fixed: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (IPv6 2001:4860:4860::8888 and 2001:4860:4860::8844).
Why does a website have multiple IP addresses?
Large websites use multiple servers for redundancy and performance. A Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloudflare, Akamai, or Fastly operates hundreds of server locations globally — the DNS system returns different IPs at different times to route users to the nearest available server. Load balancers rotate through a pool of IPs on each DNS query (round-robin DNS). A single domain like google.com may resolve to dozens of different IP addresses depending on when and where you query from.
Why does the same domain show a different IP address each time I look it up?
This is GeoDNS and round-robin DNS in action. GeoDNS returns the IP of the server geographically closest to the DNS resolver making the query — so a resolver in Europe gets a different IP than one in Asia for the same domain. Round-robin DNS cycles through a list of IPs on each query to distribute server load. Both are standard practice for any globally distributed website. The IP you receive reflects where our server is located relative to the target's CDN routing decisions.
Can I find the real IP address behind a Cloudflare or CDN proxy?
Not through a standard DNS lookup. When a domain is proxied through Cloudflare, the A records point to Cloudflare's edge servers — the origin server's IP is deliberately hidden for DDoS protection. Historical exposures have come from: SSL certificate transparency logs, email header analysis (mail servers often bypass the CDN proxy), misconfigured subdomains (e.g. mail.example.com pointing to origin), or legacy DNS records cached before Cloudflare was enabled. For any current proxied domain, only the CDN edge IPs are discoverable via DNS.
How do I find the IP address of a website without a tool?
On Windows, open Command Prompt and run:
nslookup -q=A google.com for IPv4 or nslookup -q=AAAA google.com for IPv6. On Mac or Linux, open Terminal and run: dig google.com A or dig google.com AAAA. In PowerShell: Resolve-DnsName google.com -Type A. These commands query your system's default DNS resolver. Results may differ from this tool due to resolver location and caching differences.
How can I tell if a website's IP address has changed?
Run a domain to IP lookup before and after a hosting migration and compare the results. If the IP has changed and you expected it to, DNS propagation is working. If the IP has not changed yet, your DNS TTL is still active — resolvers are serving the cached old IP. To confirm the new IP is live on the authoritative nameserver (not waiting for TTL expiry), use the DNS Lookup tool with the Authoritative DNS option selected.
What is the difference between a website to IP lookup and a reverse DNS lookup?
A website to IP lookup (domain to IP) translates a domain name into one or more IP addresses — this is forward DNS resolution using A and AAAA records. A reverse DNS lookup does the opposite: it takes an IP address and finds the hostname registered to it via a PTR record. Forward resolution does not guarantee that the reverse resolves back to the same hostname — many IPs have no PTR record configured, especially cloud and CDN addresses. Use our Reverse DNS Lookup tool for the IP-to-hostname direction.
