# is-dns-hosted-by-wpengine

> is-dns-hosted-by-wpengine 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 WP Engine by looking up its NS records via Cloudflare DoH and matching them against WP Engine nameserver patterns, returning yes/no plus 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-wpengine-fd14e799
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether example.com has its DNS hosted by WP Engine — I need to know if it uses WP Engine nameservers before I start the migration plan.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost single-domain check to determine whether a domain's DNS is managed by WP Engine specifically. It is ideal for sales qualification, pre-migration audits, and security vendor enumeration where WP Engine is the target vendor. For bulk checks across many domains, prefer the sibling bulk endpoint. For other hosting vendors, use the corresponding vendor-specific endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- Domain does not exist or has no NS records — returns no match with empty nameserver list
- DNS resolution failure via Cloudflare DoH — may return an error or inconclusive result
- Domain input missing or malformed — request validation error
- Transient network issues reaching Cloudflare DoH — may cause lookup timeout

## How this service works

Is the domain's DNS hosted by wpengine? Looks up the NS records (Cloudflare DoH) and matches them against wpengine'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 flag indicating whether the domain's DNS is hosted by WP Engine, the full list of NS records retrieved via Cloudflare DoH, and the specific nameservers that matched WP Engine's known patterns.
