Since many DNS site starting to charge a fee for the DNS tools service. I recommend a free DNS Tools site will always be free.
The Domain Name System (DNS) associates various information with domain names; most importantly, it serves as the "phone book" for the Internet by translating human-readable computer hostnames, e.g. www.example.com, into IP addresses, e.g. 208.77.188.166, which networking equipment needs to deliver information. A DNS also stores other information such as the list of mail servers that accept email for a given domain. By providing a worldwide keyword-based redirection service, the Domain Name System is an essential component of contemporary Internet use. (Source: Wikipedia)
The list of tools offer for free are:
- DNS Lookup
- Reverse DNS
- Whois
- Test Email Servers
- Anti-Spam Blacklist
- Send Email as someone else
- Portscan
- Ping
- Trace Route
- Random Password
