f you’re unsure where your domain is hosted, don’t worry—you’re not alone! Many users register their domain through one provider but manage their website or emails through another. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to check where your domain is hosted.
Use a WHOIS Lookup Tool
A WHOIS lookup can help you find out where your domain is registered and where its DNS is managed. Simply enter your domain name into one of the following tools:
These tools will provide details about your domain, including the registrar (the company where your domain is registered) and the nameservers, which indicate where your domain’s DNS is managed.
Check Your Email or Account Records
If you purchased the domain yourself, try checking your email for confirmation messages from domain providers like GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, or Strato. These emails usually contain details about your domain registration.
Look Up Your Website's Nameservers
If your domain is connected to a website, your nameservers (displayed in a WHOIS lookup) can help you identify the provider managing your DNS. If the nameservers show something like ns1.namecheap.com or ns1.godaddy.com, it means your domain's DNS settings are handled by Namecheap or GoDaddy, respectively.
