When troubleshooting a website issue, the first step would be to make sure that your domain name is registered and that the DNS service is routing your domain name to the correct web server.
When checking the routing of a domain name, most professionals use tools such as dig / ping / tracert. For the average user that does not perform this type of test on a regular basis, connecting the dots to see how a domain name is routing can be quite difficult.
To make this process easier for our users, we’ve created a tool that performs the necessary lookups that check where a domain name is routing and graphically displays this information for easy review. Simply enter a domain name below and click submit to see where your domain’s website and email traffic is being routed to on the internet.
At this time, this tool does not work with subdomains.
Please enter a domain name below and click submit to see where your domain's website and email traffic is being routed to on the internet.

BETA! - If your website is down, this tool will help if the cause is due to a nameserver / IP address issue. We have a new tool that is in beta testing right now, referred to as our Domain Checker tool. The Domain Checker tool looks at more than just your nameserver settings, and for many users will be more helpful in diagnosing why their website may possibly be down. You can test this new tool here!
