    Abstract: A method for tracing at least one domain name is disclosed. In the method, several DNS resource records of candidate domain names are queried from at least one DNS name server. The candidate domain names are domain names that need to be traced. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses associated with the candidate domain names are retrieved from the DNS resource records of the candidate domain names. At least one external resource server is connected to retrieve corresponding registration information of the respective IP addresses of the candidate domain names. A tracing weight of each of the candidate domain names is calculated according to the DNS resource records, the IP addresses and the corresponding registration information of the candidate domain names.
