Nameserver Lookup.

How does Nameserver Lookup work?

Enter a domain name (e.g., example.com) and click “Check”. Our tool queries DNS for NS records and returns the authoritative nameservers for that domain—along with TTL (time-to-live)—so you can validate changes and troubleshoot caching.

What are nameservers (NS records)?

NS records tell the internet which nameservers are authoritative for your domain. In other words, they define where your domain’s DNS zone is hosted and which provider is responsible for answering DNS queries (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.).

When should you check nameservers?

  • After switching DNS providers (e.g., Cloudflare, Route 53, Google Domains)
  • When DNS changes aren’t taking effect as expected
  • When a domain points to the wrong website or email provider
  • When troubleshooting DNS delegation or registrar settings

Nameserver vs DNS records (quick clarification)

Nameservers (NS): Where your DNS is hosted (who answers DNS queries)
Records (A/CNAME/MX/TXT): The actual instructions inside your DNS zone
