FreeNo signupNo account or emailLast checked November 2026

A free nameserver lookup. Enter a domain and it queries DNS for the domain's NS records and its SOA primary nameserver, and names the DNS provider when it recognises one, such as Cloudflare, Route 53 or GoDaddy. No signup, no email.

What it checks

  • The domain's NS records
  • The primary nameserver in the SOA record
  • The DNS provider, matched from the nameserver names

What you get

  • The list of nameservers
  • The DNS provider when recognised
  • A warning if only one nameserver is set

Limits

  • Enter the root domain; a subdomain normally has no NS records of its own
  • A leading www. is removed for you
  • Shows live DNS answers, which can differ briefly after a change
What nameservers do

The nameservers listed for a domain are the servers that hold its DNS records: where the website lives, where mail goes, and which services are verified. Moving to a new DNS provider means changing these at the registrar.

For all record types at once, including A, MX and TXT, use the DNS Lookup tool.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a domain's nameservers?

Enter the domain above, for example example.com. The tool queries its NS records and lists them, and names the DNS provider when it can.

What is the difference between nameservers and my web host?

Nameservers answer DNS questions for your domain, such as which IP address serves your website. Your web host runs the site itself. They are often different companies, for example DNS at Cloudflare and hosting elsewhere.

Why did I change nameservers but still see the old ones?

DNS answers are cached, and changes at the registry can take hours to reach every resolver. Check again later, and remember that nameserver changes are made at your domain registrar.
