FAQ on NameServers
1. What is a nameserver?
A nameserver acts as a bridge between domain names and IP addresses, helping to connect the two. Essentially, it translates user-friendly domain names into the numerical IP addresses that computers use to identify each other.
For example, nameservers take an IP address like 123.456.7.8 and link it to a more memorable URL such as ipserverone.com. This process makes it easier for visitors to find websites and emails by using simple URLs instead of complex numbers.
By correctly setting up nameservers, you ensure that your domain names and IP addresses are properly connected, making navigation on the internet smoother and more intuitive.
2. Why do I need a nameserver when purchasing a domain?
A nameserver plays a crucial role in connecting your domain name with your website. Without it, your website and email services will not be linked to the domain you have acquired.
IPServerOne provides a DNS Hosting Plan with every domain purchase to facilitate DNS management.
This service allows you to efficiently manage your DNS records—such as adding, editing, or deleting entries—associated with your domain name.
