Hello,
This will depend on where you choose to host your DNS. If you have not modified your DNS (or name) servers, then chances are that your DNS is currently hosted with your domain registrar.
You can check your name servers with the Linux command:
dig +short ns <domain.com>
You can also get this information from a DNS tools site such as:

Good Luck!

What is difference Between Primary and Secondary DNS?
Secondary DNS gets its records from the Primary DNS Server. The secondary DNS is essentially there in case the primary DNS doesn't respond.
Every time you ask for how to find your primary and secondary dns the answer is always something about going to your DNS server hows that your primary and secondary DNS if its only one set of numbers?
It means, you do not have secondary DNS server.
Which record helps in synchronization of DNS data from primary to secondary?
A second DNS server helps in synchronization of DNS data from primary to secondary.
A DNS Server can be primary for one zone and secondary for another True or False?
False. The DNS records cannot be added directly to the secondary DNS zone. The secondary DNS zone can receive the updated records only from the primary DNS zone of the DNS server.
What is secondary zone in active directory?
Secondary zone When a zone that this DNS server hosts is a secondary zone, this DNS server is a secondary source for information about this zone. The zone at this server must be obtained from another remote DNS server computer that also hosts the zone. This DNS server must have network access to the remote DNS server that supplies this server with updated information about the zone. Because a secondary zone is merely a copy of a primary zone that is hosted on another server, it cannot be stored in AD DS.
What is primary DNS server?
The primary DNS server is usually the same as the router's IP adress.
A DNS server that's primary for one DNS database zone also can be secondary for one or more other dns database zones?
Often, DNS servers that are authoritative, or primary, for specific zones also function as slave, or secondary, DNS servers for other nearby zones. This permits hosts in one zone to gain access to DNS data from those other zones.
What are the types of DNS zones in windows server 2003?
Primary zoneWhen a zone that this DNS server hosts is a primary zone, the DNS server is the primary source for information about this zone, and it stores the master copy of zone data in a local file or in AD DS. When the zone is stored in a file, by default the primary zone file is named zone_name.dns and it is located in the %windir%\System32\Dns folder on the server.Secondary zoneWhen a zone that this DNS server hosts is a secondary zone, this DNS server is a secondary source for information about this zone. The zone at this server must be obtained from another remote DNS server computer that also hosts the zone. This DNS server must have network access to the remote DNS server that supplies this server with updated information about the zone. Because a secondary zone is merely a copy of a primary zone that is hosted on another server, it cannot be stored in AD DS.Stub zoneWhen a zone that this DNS server hosts is a stub zone, this DNS server is a source only for information about the authoritative name servers for this zone. The zone at this server must be obtained from another DNS server that hosts the zone. This DNS server must have network access to the remote DNS server to copy the authoritative name server information about the zone.You can use stub zones to:Keep delegated zone information current. By updating a stub zone for one of its child zones regularly, the DNS server that hosts both the parent zone and the stub zone will maintain a current list of authoritative DNS servers for the child zone.Improve name resolution. Stub zones enable a DNS server to perform recursion using the stub zone's list of name servers, without having to query the Internet or an internal root server for the DNS namespace.Simplify DNS administration. By using stub zones throughout your DNS infrastructure, you can distribute a list of the authoritative DNS servers for a zone without using secondary zones. However, stub zones do not serve the same purpose as secondary zones, and they are not an alternative for enhancing redundancy and load sharing.There are two lists of DNS servers involved in the loading and maintenance of a stub zone:The list of master servers from which the DNS server loads and updates a stub zone. A master server may be a primary or secondary DNS server for the zone. In both cases, it will have a complete list of the DNS servers for the zone.The list of the authoritative DNS servers for a zone. This list is contained in the stub zone using name server (NS) resource records.When a DNS server loads a stub zone, such as abc.xyz.com, it queries the master servers, which can be in different locations, for the necessary resource records of the authoritative servers for the zone abc.xyz.com. The list of master servers may contain a single server or multiple servers, and it can be changed anytime.
What is an primary DNS?
a type of server
Where can one find more information on a secondary DNS server?
On a computer running a Windows operating system, you can find your DNS Server Address by clicking Start> Settings> Network connections. Then double click on Local Area Connection. Now click the properties button and select Internet protocol. Click on properties and find Preferred DNS Server.
