How to Point Your Domain Name to your Web Host

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Ericka Todd

Here are the steps in order to point your domain to your web host.
Step 1) Log into your domain registrar.
Step 2) Select the domain you would like to point to your web host.
Step 3) Search for a setting called "Nameserver" or "DNS Settings".

Step 4) Enter in your two DNS addresses in the "1." And "2." Fields. If
you don't know your DNS addresses, contact your webhost. They
should have provided this information when you registered.
Step 5) Save changes.
The DNS, or Domain Name System is a hug database that stores all
information communications that exist on the Internet. In reality, it is the
largest database in the world. One person or one Internet user can
complete hundreds of DNS entries per day, being dependent on how many
times they click on something or how much information they transmit
online. The DNS server is huge, and each DNS entry connects to an
individual domain name, which is why domain name registration is so
important. Each machine or computer has an identifying IP address.
The IP address is vital since this is how the DNS recognizes which
location is collecting or transmitting information across the World Wide
Web.
When someone enters URL or web address into the Internet browser,
the domain name and host name is converted to an IP address, in order that
the browser knows to direct the user to the site. The browser
actually has a virtual conversation of sorts with the domain name's
server. On some computer and Internet systems, the DNS is
transmitted to the machine's memory once you connect to your
Internet Service Provider (or ISP). Some machines are actually hard
wired to read the DNS and know how to talk to the domain server via
the operating system. What basically happens is that the browser
contacts the server and asks it to convert the domain into an IP
address. Once this happens, the browser converts it over to the
website, allowing the user to see it on their PC.
Some servers look for an IP address by searching for the root name
server. These root servers know about the IP address already, and
know what servers it handles under the top level, or main domains.
Once that happens the server asks the root director for the website. It
is essential that you've already created a master domain, had it
registered, and created the root directory to ensure the domain name
knows to go directly to your web host's server. Registering and
creating a domain name is essential to ensuring that the host
communication is performed properly.
Each web hosting server can have several physical PCs or computers
that each has their own IP address, and this can make up the entire
server infrastructure. There can be nicknames, or aliases for the hosts
which all indicate the actual, physical machine. There may possibly be a
nickname of alias for different websites that indicate the master
domain. This can go on and on, being dependent on the root directory and
how many name servers there are. Basically, they can all point back to
the main domain name somehow or another. It's very important to
remember that the DNS can handle millions of Internet transactions
every minute of every day. Knowing how the DNS operates is helpful
when learning how to make sure your domain name points back to the
host or server.
Be sure your website has a good root directory that knows where its
origins are. This means that any information using the DNS will
ultimately point the user or person visiting the website right back to
the web host. In return, you have the ability to better track where your
visitors are originating from, what they are investigating, and how
information is being transmitted from your website to the web hosting
server and then back again. The DNS is the world's biggest database
and is endlessly changing, but with a good root directory or name
server, all URL hits will bring everything back to the origin of the site,
which is the host.
