×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)
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.
Same with my registrar, a GoDaddy .nl domain. I entered the first 3 ip’s mentioned in this topic, but I guess they are outdated already.
Also ns1.digitalocean.com - 173.245.59.51 etc is outdated “already”.
Can anyone at DO give an indication about the frequency of these changes? For it might give me an incentive to leave the nameservers at GoDaddy, don’t feel like bringing down the server at random times due to this kind of issues.
