How To Find The Ip Address Of A Domain Name?

if you are visiting us today its probably because you want to find out how you can get the IP address of a domain name.

for example, lets say you want to know what is the IP address for yahoo.com

its very easy. if you are using a windows or linux computer, open your terminal. DOS for windows, SHELL for Linux and send this command:



this is the OUTPUT:

C:\Users\Me>nslookup yahoo.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: yahoo.com
Addresses: 67.195.160.76
69.147.114.224
69.147.125.65
72.30.2.43
98.137.149.56
209.131.36.159
209.191.93.53
209.191.122.70

so if you put the IP address on your browser 67.195.160.76 instead of yahoo.com, it will take you to the yahoo.com server try it

NOTE: the nslookup utility performs DNS look-ups and returns the results. it also performs an interactive mode in which you can perform a series of queries. this program is officially deprecated, which means that its not longer being maintained and will eventually be dropped from its parent package which is bind-utils or bind-tools from most distributions

so you should get into the habit of using host or dig instead
