Name server
Hi,
I want to move my website from my host company to my own server, can anyone explain what a "nameserver" is ?? and anything else i need to know about nameservers.
Thanks
Tony
Before you criticise someone walk a mile in their shoes......
Then, if they don't like what you say they are 1 mile away and barefoot.

Basically a name server translates IP addresses into something that is more easily remembered. Instead of typing in the IP address, a name server allows you to use the name instead.
Here are some setup howto's:
