Nameservers

What It Does

Queries NS records for a domain, resolves nameserver IP addresses (both A and AAAA for IPv4/IPv6), and identifies the DNS provider by matching nameserver patterns against 33+ known providers including Cloudflare, AWS Route 53, Google Cloud DNS, Namecheap, GoDaddy, and others.

Why It's Useful

Essential for DNS migration planning, competitive infrastructure analysis, and identifying provider-specific performance or security characteristics. Understanding which DNS provider a domain uses reveals whether it has access to enterprise features like DDoS protection, DNSSEC automation, and anycast routing.
