What is a domain registrar?

A domain registrar is the company, accredited by the domain's registry, through which a domain name is registered and renewed - GoDaddy, Namecheap and Cloudflare are common examples. The registrar is where the domain's nameservers are set and where it is renewed or unlocked for a transfer. It is often a different company from the web host that stores the website's files.

How to find which registrar a domain uses

  1. Enter the domain name in the box above.
  2. Click Find Registrar.
  3. Read the registrar name in the result.
  4. To manage your own domain, sign in to that registrar's account; to move it elsewhere, unlock it there and request the transfer (authorization) code.

  • The registrar is where nameservers are set - see which ones the domain uses with Nameserver Lookup.
  • If the registrant details are hidden, check whether a privacy service is in use with the WHOIS Privacy Checker.

The registrar is the accredited company a domain is registered through (like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains) - this is not the same as web hosting, which is a separate service that actually serves your website's files. A domain's registrar and its web host are very often two completely different companies. If you've inherited a domain (through a business acquisition, a client handoff, or a domain purchase) and don't know where it's registered, this is the fastest way to find out where you'll need to go to manage or transfer it. JustChecker tracks domain registration data automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Look it up here, then search your email for that registrar's name to find the account. If you can't log in, the registrar's support can recover access after verifying you own the domain.

Not necessarily. The registrar manages the domain name; the host stores the website. Many people use one company for both, but they can be different.

Unlock the domain, get the transfer (EPP) code from the current registrar and start the transfer at the new one. Domains can't be moved within 60 days of registration or a previous transfer.
