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!

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
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?
