What are Domain Nameservers? Print

  • 291

A domain nameserver is responsible for handling requests about where a domain’s services, like websites and emails are located. It’s a key part of the Domain Name System (DNS), which keeps a directory of domain names and translates them into IP addresses.

When someone visits your domain, a DNS lookup first checks the nameservers, which then reference the DNS records for your domain to direct traffic appropriately.
