Find your DNS provider
How to discover which company manages DNS for your domain — in Reloop, at your registrar, or with a quick lookup.
You need to know who hosts your nameservers before you can publish Reloop records (or before Auto-populate can work).
Method 1 — Reloop dashboard (easiest)
- Add the domain at Domains if you have not already.
- Open the domain detail page.
- Reloop reads public nameservers and shows a Provider chip when it recognizes the host (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Vercel, Namecheap, …).
If Reloop shows a provider:
- Auto populate on the domain page → use Auto-populate
- Otherwise → open that host’s guide under Provider guides and add records manually
If Reloop cannot detect a provider, use Method 2 or 3.
Method 2 — Registrar control panel
- Log in where you bought / renew the domain.
- Open the domain → Nameservers / DNS / Manage DNS.
- Note the nameserver hostnames, for example:
| Nameserver contains | Likely DNS host |
|---|---|
cloudflare.com | Cloudflare |
vercel-dns.com | Vercel |
domaincontrol.com | GoDaddy |
registrar-servers.com | Namecheap |
awsdns- | AWS Route 53 |
domainchief. | Domain Chief |
dnsowl.com / hostsilo.com | NameSilo |
ui-dns. | IONOS |
squarespace.com / googledomains.com | Squarespace |
hetzner.com / hetzner.de | Hetzner |
hostinger. / dns-parking.com | Hostinger |
gandi.net | Gandi |
porkbun.com | Porkbun |
strato.de / strato-hosting.eu | Strato |
dreamhost.com / dreamhosters.com | DreamHost |
as207960.net / glauca.digital | Glauca Digital |
wordpress.com / wp.com | WordPress.com |
plesk | Plesk (or your host’s Plesk panel) |
Then open the matching provider guide.
Method 3 — Public lookup
In the browser
Use any “DNS lookup” / “whois” tool and query NS records for your domain (e.g. acme.com).
On your computer
dig NS acme.com +short
# or
nslookup -type=NS acme.com
Example output:
ada.ns.cloudflare.com.
bob.ns.cloudflare.com.
→ DNS is on Cloudflare.
Bought at A, DNS at B
If the registrar is GoDaddy but NS are Cloudflare, ignore GoDaddy’s DNS record editor for Reloop. Edit Cloudflare. Full explanation: Registrar vs DNS host.
Still stuck?
Use the Unknown provider guide: open whatever panel controls the NS hosts you found, and paste the records from Reloop.
