| The domain name servers are the tools that act as the web servers for your domain name. As such, it is very important that you understand how to use and maintain your domain name server. After all, it is the main way in which people will access your site. If you are not very technical yourself, you may want to hire a service company to do this for you. If you are one who is tech savvy however, you can actually do it on your own. The first thing that you should consider is where do you stand? Do you have technical knowledge on how a domain name server works, or do you only know what you need to know in order to use one? This is the hard part, as most people don't really know anything about these domain name servers. This article will show you the basics of how domain name servers work, and then discuss how to set up and use a domain name server for your site. There are many types of domain name servers out there. In general, you will have a web host that registers your domain and adds you to their server. From there, you will have access to your domain name and you can do what you want with it. In addition, each web host will also be able to provide you with more options for your domain name registration. Some hosting companies even offer a free domain name when you register your domain name with them. Before you can use a domain name server, however, you will have to check out some basic requirements first. Among these requirements are the availability of a hosting company that offers the service. As long as the domain name server is hosted by a reliable hosting company, you should be good to go. You will then be able to get to work on setting up the details of your website. Setting up a domain name server involves connecting it to a registrar. Your domain name registration company will help you to set this up, or you can do it yourself if you have the skills and the time to do so. If you want to do it yourself, make sure that you purchase a tutorial or manual that can guide you through the process step-by-step. There are plenty of tutorials available online, and they can help you get your domain name running in no time at all. If you find yourself at a dead end, you can look into domain name servers provided by various companies. There are numerous companies out there that offer name servers for little or no cost, so look around before you decide to spend money for a name server of your own. Many of these companies provide name servers that work great, and some of them provide free name servers as well. Before you purchase a domain name server, though, it's important to know how your business will utilize it. For instance, if you own an ecommerce website that sells products over the Internet, then you probably need a domain name that denotes what type of products you sell. If you don't already have such a domain, you should start looking for one. The advantage of doing this is that you can easily distinguish between websites that actually sell products and sites that are scams. You don't want to end up with a domain name that's not relevant to your site, do you? This is especially true when you're just starting out on the Internet, because you may find yourself getting lost in the many domain registers out there. In addition to the site-specific aspect of your domain name servers, you'll also want to consider your e-mail address. While most people only think about the type of mail they receive, there are also other purposes for which your e-mail address can be beneficial. If you want to advertise your business online, for instance, you could build a site that allows you to store customer e-mails in order to build a better relationship with them. These types of e-mail address registration services will allow you to build a list of your customers so that you can send out promotional emails in the future. Again, these services will make sure that your domain name servers point to the right e-mail addresses, so your promotional mail will get to the recipients. |
