What is a domain
name server? |
| |
| |
Domain name servers determine where your website
is located. When someone types a domain name into a browser, this information
is sent to that domain's primary nameserver. That nameserver, then
determines where that website is located. Then, the appropriate information
is retrieved from that location and displayed in your browser. Secondary
nameservers are used to back up primary nameservers. |

This is an invalid name server error. Please check
http://www.nsiregistry.com to see if the name server(s) you are using
are valid and active domain name servers. If they are active and valid,
please contact our technical support department with the domain name
and name servers. If you are trying to use your own nameservers, please
make sure that they are registered. You can register nameservers for
your domain(s) at Stargate by clicking on the Create Host tab in your
account manager. |
