I’m trying to set up a host name with DigitalOcean. My domain registrar (the web interface) is not only asking for the nameservers (like ns1.digitalocean.com ns2.digitalocean.com ns3.digitalocean.com) but also for the IP-addresses of the nameservers. Where can I find them? Thank’s!

At this current point in time they are as follows: <br> <br>ns1.digitalocean.com has address 198.199.120.125 <br>ns2.digitalocean.com has address 141.0.170.89 <br>ns3.digitalocean.com has address 198.199.95.114 <br> <br>For future reference you can use the “host” command on your droplet to find the IP of a hostname (and a hostname of an IP, if there is one): <br> <br>e.g. host ns1.digitalocean.com <br> <br>[user@webserver ~]$ host ns1.digitalocean.com <br>ns1.digitalocean.com has address 198.199.120.125 <br>
Short answer
--------------------- | ------------- ns1.digitalocean.com | 173.245.58.51 ns2.digitalocean.com | 173.245.59.41 ns3.digitalocean.com | 198.41.222.173
How you can get DNS IP address On linux or macos, open terminal and ping the dns domain name: (I am not a windows user but I guess it should be the same command through cmd)
The output would be something like this:
And there you have the IP address to your DNS:
It seems that the ip’s for all of your nameservers are changing quite frequently. If so, does this mean that I have to keep checking them regularly and keep logging into my registrar to update them? My registrar requires both host and ip for each nameserver.
