The invention discloses a domain name analyzing method and a server, and belongs to the technical field of Internet. The method comprises the following steps of receiving a domain name analyzing request which is sent by an application client via TCP (transmission control protocol) connection, wherein the domain name analyzing request carries a to-be-analyzed target domain name, and the designated server is an application server corresponding to the application client, or a preset confidential server, and is stored with a corresponding relationship between the domain name and an IP (internet protocol) address; according to the corresponding relationship between the domain name and the IP address, obtaining the target IP address corresponding to the target domain name, and sending the target IP address to the application client. The method has the advantages that because the designated server is the application server or the confidential server, the reliability is higher than the reliability of a DNS (domain name server); when the domain name analyzing request is processed by the designated server, the false analyzing of the domain name due to false IP address of the DNS configured by the system is avoided, and the accuracy of domain name analyzing is improved.
