Can you lookup a domains past nameserver & mx record history?

If is possible to find out which nameservers a domain was previously pointing too? I need to try and find where a domain was previously hosted so that I can try and gain access to an old hosted email account.

Any ideas?

Solution 1:

http://whoisrequest.org/history/

This one is really cool . No registration needed .

Solution 2:

http://dnshistory.org/

Seems to have a patchy history, all for free.

Solution 3:

Here is another one https://completedns.com/dns-history/

It does support a lot of domain TLDs - list of supported TLDs.

With the free account you can make up to 100 queries for nameserver history.

Solution 4:

Not really, no - I'm not aware of any Wayback Machine for DNS records, but it'd be cool if I was wrong.

Do you have any old emails with full headers to or from that domain? Transport headers may be your only hope.

Solution 5:

If DNS History or WhoIS Domain History Checker don't work out for you, try DNS Trails. They seem to have a bigger history database and I was able to find records I couldn't with the others.

None of the services require signup.
