How can I find the server name of my hosting package?

In several of our support articles, we refer to your server name.

Via Mijn Xynta
Via Website Check
Via Terminal (macOS)
Via Command Prompt (Windows)


Below we explain how you can find it step-by-step:

Via Mijn Xynta

Go to Mijn Xynta and log in with your email address and password.
Click on HOSTING at the top of the page.
Select the hosting package for which you want to retrieve the server name.
Under Details, next to Control Panel, you will see:
➔ You are on server: [server name] (e.g., dhs1.srvnl.nl).

Via Website Check

Visit the Website Check page.
Enter your website address and click Check now.
You will receive feedback:
➔ "De domeinnaam XXX staat op server DHS11 met IP-adres 185.117.226.83."
Here, DHS11 is the server name.

Via Terminal (macOS)

Click the Magnifying glass icon at the top right.
Type Terminal and press Enter.
Run the following command:

traceroute voorbeeld.cc

Example output:

~ % traceroute voorbeeld.cc
   traceroute to voorbeeld.cc (185.117.226.70), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets
    1  192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1)  23.449 ms  25.399 ms  18.838 ms
    2  dhs1.srvnl.nl (185.117.226.70)  19.821 ms  24.233 ms  15.979 ms

The last line shows that voorbeeld.cc is hosted on server dhs1.srvnl.nl. The first part of the hostname is the server name.

Via Command Prompt (Windows)

Press the Windows + R keys together.
Type cmd and press Enter.
Run the following command:

tracert voorbeeld.cc

The final hop will show the hostname; the first part is the server name.


🔄 Remember to replace voorbeeld.cc with your actual website address.
