How Do I Check If My Nameservers Have Updated?

After changing your domain's nameservers, you can verify whether the change has been updated at the registry by performing a WHOIS lookup.

For most domain extensions, you can use the ICANN Lookup tool:

https://lookup.icann.org/en

Enter your domain name and review the nameservers listed for the domain.

For country-specific domain extensions, such as .ca or .au, or for TLDs that do not appear in the ICANN Lookup, you can find the appropriate WHOIS service by searching Google for the domain extension followed by WHOIS lookup, for example, “.ca WHOIS lookup.”

Check DNS Propagation

You can also check how the nameservers are resolving from different locations using:

https://dnschecker.org/

Enter your domain name and select NS as the record type.

Please note that nameserver changes may not appear everywhere immediately. DNS propagation can take anywhere from a few hours to 48 hours.

We recommend using a WHOIS lookup first to confirm that the nameserver change has been updated at the domain registry.
