Domain Name Servers
What Is A Domain Name Server?
What is misleading is the concept from getting a domain name to buying web hosting and setting up your domain name servers. I can feel your pain right now, and it’s very confusing to me also. But, the way I learned this stuff is by actually building websites and dealing with my own web hosting provider.

Once you have chosen your hosting package, and bought your own domain name, then it’s time for you to do your domain name forwarding, or as many would say redirect your domain name server.
Once you have purchased your web hosting package you will be given a set of domain name server dns, a primary domain name server and a secondary name server
For your site to go live on the web, you will have to start setting up your domain name server, that is where you go into the control panel from your domain name account, and forward your domain name servers to your primary and secondary domain name servers.
When Do You Register A domain Name Server?
Once you purchase a web hosting package that has it’s own IP and domain name server, then you will need to go and register a domain name server with your registrar, it varies per domain name reseller.
I can’t tell you how to do it, because each domain name reseller is very different, but, I can tell you what I did when I first purchased my own web hosting package with IP’s from HostGator.
All I did was send their support team an email, and they responded telling me how to do it, in a step-by-step manner. that was the only time I really had to register my domain name server.
Setting up domain name servers is as easy as asking your support team how to do it, so from now on, if your stuck, just ask for help. No need to try and figure it out all pn your own.
