What is DNS and what are NameServers?
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2010 2:23 pm
DNS stands for Domain Name Server.
A domain name server is similar to a phone book. It tells the Internet programs (e.g. web browsers) where to go by translating the domain name into an Internet (IP) address. Every Internet Service Provider (ISP) has its own DNS servers. You need at least 2 DNS server names to specify who is hosting your domain or web site.
Where do I get information about the DNS server for my web site?
You will get the DNS information from your web hosting company welcome letter. The DNS information consists of letters and/or digits separated by periods (.). Example: NS1.ABCD.COM
