Domain name servers are a fundamental part of the Domain Name System. Nameserver is a server on the Internet specialized in handling queries regarding the location of the domain name’s various services. In easy words, name servers define your domain’s current DNS provider.
All domains usually have at least two DNS servers which can be checked via Whois lookup tool.
For example: we provide name servers for all domains registered with us (they are called Listedhosting BasicDNS) and their values are:
cloud1.listedhosting.net
cloud2.listedhosting.net
cloud3.listedhosting.net
cloud4.listedhosting.net
When you make a request for anything related to the domain name, it gets sent to one of the name servers. In response, the DNS server sends back the IP address. This works for the Web Site, Mail Servers, and anything else based on the domain name.
