  Sure, but they are different tools: https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manpages.html#host-dns-lookup-utility https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manpages.html#host-dn... > host is a simple utility for performing DNS lookups. It is normally used to convert names to IP addresses and vice versa. When no arguments or options are given, host prints a short summary of its command-line arguments and options. https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manpages.html#dig-dns-lookup-utility https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manpages.html#dig-dns... > dig is a flexible tool for interrogating DNS name servers. It performs DNS lookups and displays the answers that are returned from the name server(s) that were queried. Most DNS administrators use dig to troubleshoot DNS problems because of its flexibility, ease of use, and clarity of output. Other lookup tools tend to have less functionality than dig.
