How do I verify that my domain is hosted at Yahoo!?

To verify that your domain is hosted by Yahoo!, you simply need to make sure your domain is currently associated with Yahoo!'s name servers. You can view your name server information anytime from your Domain Control Panel or by viewing your WHOIS record.

To review your name servers from the Domain Control Panel:

  1. Visit your Domain Control Panel and click the "Manage Advanced DNS Settings" link.
  2. Locate the "Name Servers" section at the bottom of the "Advanced DNS Settings" page.
  3. You'll see your domain's name servers. Yahoo!'s name servers should be listed as your primary and secondary name servers.

Yahoo! uses the following name servers:

  • Primary name server: yns1.yahoo.com
  • Primary IP address: 66.218.71.205 (may not be required)
  • Secondary name server: yns2.yahoo.com
  • Secondary IP address: 66.196.84.168 (may not be required)

You can also review your WHOIS record to verify that your domain is currently associated with Yahoo!'s name servers. When you review your record, locate your domain's name server information and verify that it matches the Yahoo! details noted above. Learn how to view your WHOIS record.
