Introducing NP Radar: A Domain Intelligence Platform for Nepal's .NP Ecosystem

Laxman Poudel — Thu, 11 Jun 2026 05:58:21 +0000

Every website relies on a complex combination of domains, DNS records, SSL certificates, hosting infrastructure, and web technologies. Yet obtaining a complete picture of how a domain is configured often requires jumping between multiple tools and services.

A typical investigation might involve checking WHOIS information on one website, DNS records on another, SSL certificate details somewhere else, and security configurations through separate scanners. This fragmented workflow can be time-consuming and inefficient.

To solve this problem, I built NP Radar, a free domain intelligence platform designed specifically for Nepal's .np domain ecosystem.

Why I Built NP Radar

As someone interested in web development and cybersecurity, I frequently needed to analyze domains for learning, research, and troubleshooting.

However, I found myself repeatedly switching between different tools to gather information such as:

WHOIS records
DNS configurations
SSL certificate details
Hosting provider information
Security settings
Website technologies

Most existing tools focus on a single aspect of domain analysis, and very few provide insights tailored specifically to Nepal's internet ecosystem.

I wanted a platform that could bring all of this information together in a single place while providing Nepal-specific intelligence that global tools often overlook.

That idea became NP Radar.

What is NP Radar?

NP Radar is a web-based platform that provides detailed intelligence about .np domains through a unified dashboard.

Users can enter a domain name and instantly access information related to registration, DNS records, SSL certificates, hosting providers, security posture, and website technologies.

The goal is simple:

Make domain intelligence more accessible, centralized, and useful for Nepal's growing internet ecosystem.

A Single Dashboard for Complete Domain Analysis

One of the biggest challenges when investigating a domain is connecting information from multiple sources.

NP Radar solves this by aggregating different layers of domain intelligence into a single report.

WHOIS Intelligence
Retrieve important registration information including:

Registrar details
Registration dates
Domain status
Nameservers

DNS Analysis
Inspect DNS configurations such as:

A Records
AAAA Records
MX Records
NS Records
TXT Records
CNAME Records
SOA Records

SSL Certificate Inspection
Analyze SSL certificates and security status:

Certificate issuer
Validation status
Expiration tracking
Security grading

Nepali ISP Detection
One of NP Radar's unique capabilities is identifying hosting providers commonly used within Nepal.

Supported providers include:

WorldLink
Nepal Telecom (NTC)
Vianet
Subisu
DishHome
WebSurfer
Classic Tech
CG Net

Security Scoring
Domains are evaluated using several security indicators, including:

HTTPS implementation
DNSSEC configuration
SPF records
DMARC policies
Security headers

Technology Detection
NP Radar can identify technologies powering a website, including:

Content Management Systems (CMS)
Web Servers
Frameworks
Analytics Platforms
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)

More Than a WHOIS Tool

While domain intelligence is the platform's core functionality, NP Radar also includes several additional tools.

Reverse IP Lookup
Discover domains hosted on the same IP address.

DNS Checker
Evaluate DNS configurations and identify potential issues.

Domain Comparison
Compare two domains side-by-side and analyze differences in infrastructure and security.

Domain Generator
Generate .np domain suggestions and ideas.

Bank Security Scorecard
Compare website security indicators across banking institutions.

Nepal Domain Statistics
Explore trends and insights related to Nepal's domain ecosystem.

All tools are available without registration and are designed to simplify technical analysis.

Understanding Nepal's Domain Ecosystem

Beyond analyzing individual domains, NP Radar aims to provide visibility into Nepal's broader internet infrastructure.

The platform includes statistical insights covering:

Domain distribution by TLD
SSL adoption rates
DNSSEC implementation
Hosting provider market share
Average domain age
Technology adoption patterns

These insights can help developers, researchers, students, and organizations better understand Nepal's digital landscape.

Who Can Benefit From NP Radar?

Developers
Understand DNS configurations, hosting environments, and technology stacks.

Cybersecurity Professionals
Evaluate security posture and identify potential weaknesses.

Students
Learn about DNS, SSL certificates, internet infrastructure, and cybersecurity concepts using real-world examples.

Businesses
Gain visibility into website security and infrastructure.

Researchers
Explore trends and statistics across Nepal's domain ecosystem.

Challenges During Development

Building NP Radar required combining data from multiple sources while presenting it in a simple and understandable interface.

Some challenges included:

Aggregating information from different systems
Designing a clean dashboard experience
Creating meaningful security scoring metrics
Identifying Nepal-specific hosting providers
Presenting technical information in an accessible way

Balancing depth and simplicity was one of the most important design considerations throughout development.

What's Next?

NP Radar is still evolving, and there are many features planned for future releases.

Possible improvements include:

Historical DNS tracking
Domain monitoring
Security alerts
API access
Expanded analytics
Threat intelligence integration
Additional research and statistics tools

The long-term vision is to create a comprehensive domain intelligence platform that supports Nepal's growing technology ecosystem.
