Reserving a web address gives you the rights to use that
address
on the internet and uniquely
distinguish yourself from others.
To make your
unique web address work, you will need to
use
a web-hosting provider or ISP to resolve
your address. Your
Web Host Provider / ISP
will provide you with web space to
upload your
web pages. This is commonly known as "web
hosting"
services.
When you subscribe to web hosting service, your ISP will
give
you 2 Name Servers.
Your ISP will provide you with 2
Name Servers (DNS) and
their
corresponding I.P. address. For example:
ns1.some-server-name.com
204.102.222.144
ns2.some-server-name.com
222.122.255.222
All that is required on
your part is to enter in your
2 name servers
provided by your ISP through
your Domain
Manager. The corresponding I.P.
addresses
for those name servers are
automatically detected, so you do
not have to
enter those. It is very easy to do.
So all
you will need to enter is:
ns1.some-server-name.com
ns2.some-server-name.com
Note:
The above name servers are just an example.
Please
use the name server provided to you by
your ISP instead.
What does entering
those Name Servers do?
By entering
those 2 name servers, you are basically
transferring control over to your web host, and leaving
it
up to their name servers to translate your
domain
name correctly on the web every time
someone
types your web-address into the
browser URL window.
So if your ISP doesn't
setup their name servers correctly,
your site
wouldn't work.
After you
enter in those 2 name servers provided by
your
Web Host Provider / ISP, the changes will
propagate through out all the servers in the
world
as they are updates, and your web site
should start
resolving within a week at
most.
