How to Find your DNS Servers

The easiest way to find your DNS servers is by using the `nslookup` tool.

Start nslookup
Set your search type to NS -- this tells nslookup to search for nameservers
Finally, enter in the domain name for which you would like to find the nameservers

Here are some example searches for the most popular lookups:
