> is-dns-hosted-by-siteground is a paid API for AI agents from dns.intel.rallylive.ca, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-20).

Checks whether a domain's DNS is hosted by SiteGround by looking up its NS records and matching them against SiteGround nameserver patterns, returning a yes/no answer with matched nameservers.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability is-dns-hosted-by-siteground-86728648
```

Example prompt: Can you check if example.com has its DNS hosted by SiteGround? I need to know whether their nameservers match SiteGround's patterns.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly and cheaply determine whether a specific domain's DNS is managed by SiteGround, particularly for sales prospecting, hosting migration planning, or security auditing workflows. It is preferable to a general NS lookup when you specifically need vendor detection against SiteGround's nameserver patterns rather than raw DNS data.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist — NS lookup returns no records
- Domain has non-standard or private nameservers not in SiteGround patterns — returns no match
- Cloudflare DoH query timeout or failure — lookup fails
- Missing or malformed domain input — request rejected
- Domain uses generic/shared nameservers that partially overlap — ambiguous match

## How this service works

Is the domain's DNS hosted by siteground? Looks up the NS records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against siteground's nameserver patterns, returning yes/no, the nameservers and which ones matched. Vendor detection for sales, migration and security work. $0.01 per lookup.

## Output

Returns a yes/no boolean indicating whether the domain's DNS is hosted by SiteGround, the full list of NS records found via Cloudflare DoH, and a subset list of which nameservers matched SiteGround's known patterns.
