DNS Dig
Performing a Dig on a domain name will return all of the domain's DNS records. This is a useful tool for troubleshooting DNS problems.
In this example, I'm using an online dig tool available at this URL: http://who.is
After loading the webpage, type in the domain name, select DNS Records from the drop down list, then click on Who.is Search.
All of the domain's DNS records are displayed in the output. The A records control where the domain is pointed for web hosting and URL forwarding purposes. The MX record (Mail Exchange record) controls where incoming email is delivered.
In the example above, the A records show us that *.awesomelawncare.com and awesomelawncare.com are pointed at 64.99.80.30.
