DigitalOcean's Nameservers: IP-adress?

  • Posted September 11, 2013

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!

Short answer

    DNS           |       IP

--------------------- | ------------- 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)

$ ping -c 1 ns1.digitalocean.com

The output would be something like this:

PING ns1.digitalocean.com (173.245.58.51) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ns1.digitalocean.com (173.245.58.51): icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=22.0 ms

--- ns1.digitalocean.com ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 22.077/22.077/22.077/0.000 ms

And there you have the IP address to your DNS:

ns1.digitalocean.com (173.245.58.51)

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>

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.

Hello I found that IPS are

ns1.digitalocean.com - 173.245.59.51 ns2.digitalocean.com - 173.245.59.41

Is this okay?

If you’re doing this from a Windows machine you can open a command (dos) prompt and type: <br> <br>ping ns1.digitalocean.com <br> <br>this is what you should see: <br> <br>Pinging ns1.digitalocean.com [198.199.120.125] with 32 bytes of data: <br>Reply from 198.199.120.125: bytes=32 time=133ms TTL=57 <br>Reply from 198.199.120.125: bytes=32 time=132ms TTL=57 <br>Reply from 198.199.120.125: bytes=32 time=131ms TTL=57 <br>Reply from 198.199.120.125: bytes=32 time=132ms TTL=57 <br> <br>the same goes for ns2.digitalocean.com and ns3.digitalocean.com
