Ok some questions on web hosting What dose? 1: DNS Maintenance, 2: Change Nameservers and 3: Build/Edit Nameserver mean. Ben This relates to hosting-unlimited domains
As no one has answered you I'll give it a shot. I'm not sure about what "DNS Maintainence" actually means, but DNS usually stands for Domain name Server... which I believe equates to the actual machine in which your domain is registered and then decides where to go to get the details for it. I.E Though your website is on machine X, Machine Y is a DNS and receives queries from the internet routing requests for your site to Machine X. Nameservers I believe tend to be a way for hosting companies to allow you to create areas that will respond to registered websites. I'm not sure how this actually works but, effectively once the domain gets registered you would go to your Management console and create a Namespace which you have full control over and map it to the registered domain. Thus it maps a registered domain to an area/web site under your control on the hosting machines. that's how you can control it. Please dont quote me on this - I've seen it done once! Its very "back-end" for me and I could b talking out of my b*tty! I dont mean to put you wrong though.
DNS: Domain Name Server When you have a domain name you have to "map" it to your web hosts name server. You need to change where it points to, usually your web host will tell you what the primary and secondary DNS should be set to, something like: Primary DNS: NS1.SOMEHOST.COM 123.321.213.321 Secondary DNS: NS2.SOMEHOST.COM 121.233.212.231 Some domain name registration companies allow you to modify the the DNS settings yourself through a control panel, some you have to ask them to do it for you and they charge a fee.
