In a previous post I had written about a web service with which you can check if a website has any downtime and sends you an email notification. It can be quite handy for webmasters getting notified about a website’s downtime. Here is another service which will be really helpful for webmasters to carry out a DNS lookup from over 34 locations worldwide.

Why carry out a DNS Lookup?

  • Often you might get a scenario that a website is facing downtime from where you are working but that is not the case for everyone.
  • It could be a server problem with the service which is hosting the website or it can even be a issue with DNS server of your ISP.
  • Here before trying out Google Public DNS or Open DNS you might want to carryout a DNS Lookup for the website using Just DNS Lookup. Just to know if the DNS is being resolved successfully across the world.
