Domain to IP: How to find the address of a website

  1. Enter domain or website URL, for example example.com. For a URL, the host is checked; a path like /kontakt It does not have its own DNS record.
  2. Determining IP address Voting. A records provide IPv4 addresses, AAAA records IPv6 addresses.
  3. Copy the found IP or download the list as CSV. Under DNS Details, you will see the entry type and an existing PTR name.

The tool determines the publicly resolvable IP of the website. It neither shows your own connection IP nor guarantees the origin server behind a CDN.

IP found – what do you check next?

Domain shows after moving to the old server

Check A and AAAA records with the DNS provider. Also query www separately. A still existing old AAAA record can still lead IPv6 visitors to the previous server. The TTL determines how long DNS responses can be cached.

Multiple or unexpected IP addresses

Load distribution and CDNs can provide multiple addresses. Compare them to the configuration of your hosting or CDN provider. An infrastructure IP is not evidence of a wrong server.

No IP found

Check spelling and subdomain. A host may exist without A/AAAA, or the DNS query may fail temporarily. Check the DNS settings before changing the web server.

IP is right, website still does not open

A successful DNS resolution does not yet check an HTTP response or a certificate. With the HTTPS Checker then check encryption and forwarding; Status code Checker Shows answers of individual URLs.

Crosscheck domain IP with nslookup or dig

Replace example.com with your domain. The local query may differ from our result because of a different DNS resolver.

Windows, macOS and Linux

nslookup -type=A example.com
nslookup -type=AAAA example.com

With installed dig

dig +short A example.com
dig +short AAAA example.com

Frequent questions about the IP address of a website

How do I find out the IP address of a domain?

Enter the domain at the top. The check queries public A and AAAA DNS records and shows the found IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Alternatively, you can use local nslookup or dig.

Do www and the domain without www have the same IP?

Not mandatory. They are different hosts with their own DNS records. Check both spellings individually, especially after a hosting move.

Can I determine the real server IP behind Cloudflare?

This check shows the publicly resolvable addresses. In the case of an upstream CDN, this can be the CDN-IP. The hidden origin IP cannot be reliably derived from this.

What Does a Missing Reverse DNS Entry Mean?

No PTR name was identified for the IP. A website can still work. A PTR name also does not have to match the entered domain.

Is the IP address of a website also your mail server IP?

Not necessarily. Website, incoming mail server and outgoing mail server can use different IPs. For mail delivery problems, the actual shipping IP is relevant; for example, it is in an error message or in the mail header.

How is my input processed?

The input is transmitted to the Seitenreport server for the DNS query. The tool endpoint shall record technical information relating to the test run. Further information can be found in the Data protection declaration.
