Why: Nameserver

An Introduction to Nameservers (And How They Work)

Nameservers are put to work every time someone accesses a website, but many people have very little understanding of what they actually are. To understand this concept, you’ll need to consider what happens when a website is visited.

As you’re probably aware, every device connected to the internet can be identified using a unique IP address. Nameservers are part of a large database called the Domain Name System (DNS), which acts like a directory for devices and the IP addresses attached to them.

What nameservers do is use this information to translate domain names into numerical IP addresses – the language our computers understand. This process works so quickly that it’s almost never noticeable. You simply type in a URL, the nameserver lets your browser know where that website is located, and the desired page loads.

Without this system, we’d have to type lengthy IP addresses into our browsers every time we wanted to open a website. Therefore, the service provided by nameservers is invaluable. The term ‘nameserver’ can be used to describe any server that has DNS software installed. However, it usually refers to a server owned by a web host, which is used to manage customer domain names.

Why You May Want to Register Your Own Nameserver

In most cases, you’ll never need to do anything with the nameservers attached to your site. However, there are several instances in which you may need to register a custom nameserver – which you can use to configure the way your registered domain name information is displayed.

For example, you may own a domain that was purchased from a different hosting company than the one you now use. In this scenario, setting up a custom nameserver will help you develop a stronger, more individual brand identity – rather than simply using the one attached to your host. This may also become necessary if you have a reseller hosting or Virtual Private Server (VPS) account.

Whatever the reason, there are a number of benefits to registering your own nameserver:

  • It’s easier for your reseller clients to remember your nameserver. Custom nameservers are associated with your own domain, instead of your web hosting company’s. Using the same domain for both your website and nameserver can also provide your customers with a greater sense of security.
  • Changing your hosting provider is simpler if you have a custom nameserver, especially if you’re using a reseller account. That way, your customers won’t need to update their own nameservers.
  • In addition, registering your own nameserver also means you can avoid giving away third-party details to your clients.

Custom nameservers are optional, but having one can be beneficial (especially if you operate a website for business or reseller hosting). In the next section, we’ll introduce two of the ways you can get access to one.
