Your registrar is the company responsible for the domain registration. You may need to identify it when changing nameservers, renewing a domain, or managing DNSSEC DS records.

Use registration lookup data

  1. Use an ICANN lookup/RDAP service or another reputable domain-registration lookup tool.
  2. Enter the domain name.
  3. Look for the Registrar field.

Privacy services can hide registrant contact information, but the registrar itself is normally still identified.

Registrar is not always the DNS provider

A domain can be registered with one company while its authoritative nameservers and DNS records are hosted somewhere else. Check the domain's current nameservers before deciding where a DNS change must be made.
