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

**In several of our support articles we refer to the name of your server — for example to log in to Plesk (WordPress Hosting) or to look up certain settings. Below you'll find the four ways to look up your server name.**

|| The server name is not the same as your domain name. A server name looks like `dhs1.srvnl.nl` or `dhs11.srvnl.nl` — the part before `.srvnl.nl` is your specific server.

* [Via My xYnta](#3-via-my-xynta)
* [Via the website check](#3-via-the-website-check)
* [Via Terminal (macOS)](#3-via-terminal-macos)
* [Via Command Prompt (Windows)](#3-via-command-prompt-windows)

### Via My xYnta

This is the quickest method if you have access to your account.

1. Go to [My xYnta](https://mijn.xynta.com) and log in with your email address and password.
2. Click **HOSTING** at the top of the page.
3. Select the hosting package whose server name you want to look up.
4. Under **Details**, next to **Control panel**, you'll find your server name (for example `dhs1.srvnl.nl`).

### Via the website check

Don't have access to My xYnta? You can also look up the server name directly through the website check — no login required.

1. Go to [xynta.com/en/support/website-check](https://www.xynta.com/en/support/website-check).
2. Enter your domain name and start the **Quick scan**.
3. In the summary panel on the right you'll see the server your plan is on — along with additional details like your IP address and control panel.

| This method only works if your domain name is already actively pointing to your xYnta plan. If that's not yet the case, use the method via My xYnta instead.

### Via Terminal (macOS)

For advanced users: you can look up the server through Terminal using a `traceroute` command.

1. Click the **magnifying glass icon** in the top right (Spotlight).
2. Type **Terminal** and press **Enter**.
3. Run the following command — replace `yourdomain.com` with your own domain name:

```
traceroute yourdomain.com
```

The last line shows the server hosting your website:

```
~ % traceroute yourdomain.com
traceroute to yourdomain.com (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
```

In this example, `dhs1.srvnl.nl` is the server — the first part (`dhs1`) is the server name.

### Via Command Prompt (Windows)

For advanced users: you can look up the server through Command Prompt using a `tracert` command.

1. Press **Windows** + **R** at the same time.
2. Type **cmd** and press **Enter**.
3. Run the following command — replace `yourdomain.com` with your own domain name:

```
tracert yourdomain.com
```

The last 'hop' shows the hostname of your server — the first part is the server name.
