NS Lookup
Look up a domain's name server (NS) records instantly.
With the NS lookup tool you can instantly view the name server records of any domain. NS records decide which servers answer DNS queries for your domain. Use the tool to see which DNS servers your domain is connected to and to spot DNS configuration problems.
If you have changed your NS records, you can follow the new settings as they spread with this tool, check the domain's IP routing with the A record lookup and its registration and expiry details with the Whois lookup. Need a new domain? You can register it right away.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about NS records.
What is a name server (NS)?
Name servers (NS) are the DNS servers that answer queries for your domain. Every domain must have at least one NS record, and through these records the IP addresses of the servers that host the domain can be found.
What information does an NS lookup give?
An NS lookup shows the DNS servers a domain is connected to. From there you can reach everything those servers publish, such as IP addresses, and run IP trace or ping checks.
What is NS Lookup?
NS Lookup (nslookup) is a network administration tool for querying DNS records by domain name or IP address. It is used to find out which servers a domain points to.
How can I change my NS records?
You can change your NS records in the panel of the registrar where you registered the domain. After the change, DNS propagation can take 24–48 hours.
Why are there several NS records?
Several NS records are defined for redundancy and high availability. When the primary DNS server does not respond, the secondary one takes over and keeps the domain working.
How long does an NS change take to spread?
NS changes usually spread worldwide within 24–48 hours (DNS propagation). The exact time depends on the TTL value and the DNS provider.
Which NS records should I use for my domain?
Use the name servers given by whoever manages your domain's DNS records, which is usually your hosting provider. If you are a SunucuPARK customer, our support team can tell you which NS records to use.
