What are name servers? Print

  • 0

Nameservers are the Internet's equivalent to phone books. A nameserver maintains a directory of domain names that match certain IP addresses (computers). The information from all the nameservers across the Internet is gathered in a central registry.

Nameservers make it possible for visitors to access your website using a familiar domain name, instead of having to remember a series of numbers.

Nameservers on other networks can access information at the central registry up to 8 hours after registering .com and .net domain names and up to 48 hours for all other domain name extensions. This period is referred to as the propagation period.

 

The OnTheCloud.co Name Servers are...

  1. Boo.ImOnTheCloud.net
  2. Luxo.ImOnTheCloud.net
  3. Remy.ImOnTheCloud.net
  4. Roz.ImOnTheCloud.net

All domains registered through OnTheCloud.co are automatically setup with these name servers.  By using these name servers you give your hosting control panel full control over all domain records such as subdomains and other domain redirects.
