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)

1. Add the domain at [Domains](https://reloop.sh/dashboard/domain) if you have not already.
2. Open the domain detail page.
3. 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](/docs/guides/connect-domain/auto-populate)
- **Otherwise** → open that host’s guide under [Provider guides](/docs/guides/connect-domain/providers) and add records manually

If Reloop cannot detect a provider, use Method 2 or 3.

## Method 2 — Registrar control panel

1. Log in where you **bought / renew** the domain.
2. Open the domain → **Nameservers** / **DNS** / **Manage DNS**.
3. 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](/docs/guides/connect-domain/providers).

## 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

```bash
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](/docs/guides/connect-domain/registrar-vs-dns-host).

## Still stuck?

Use the [Unknown provider](/docs/guides/connect-domain/providers/unknown-provider) guide: open whatever panel controls the NS hosts you found, and paste the records from Reloop.
