How to Find a Domain or Whois IP

A domain name is a website's Internet address used to identify the website. When you create a new website, you typically register the domain name with a domain name registration service. This registration allows someone to access your website by typing the domain name into a web browser's search bar. A WHOIS record is a database that provides information about the ownership of a domain name including the IP address of the server hosting the website.

Instructions

1. Go to an online WHOIS search tool (see Resources).

2. Enter the domain name you want to find information about in the search bar. Click the "Lookup," "Go" or "Search" button to display detailed ownership information about the domain.

3. Scroll down to find the nserver information. The nserver information provides the IP address of the server hosting the website.
