How to Find a Website's IP Address

Use Windows DNS tools to see the address currently returned for a domain name.

Quick Answer

Open Command Prompt and run nslookup example.com.

Step by Step

  1. Open Command Prompt.
  2. Type nslookup followed by the domain name, such as nslookup example.com.
  3. Press Enter.
  4. Review the returned Address values.
  5. Remember that CDN and proxy services can return an edge/proxy address rather than the origin web server.

If That Doesn't Work

  • A domain can have multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
  • Cloudflare and other reverse proxies intentionally hide the origin server's public IP in normal DNS results.
