How to point your Domain to your Hosting?
A DNS (Domain Name System) can be defined as the phonebook of the Internet. For every website name such as hostpro2u.com, DNS converts it into an IP (Internet Protocol) address such as 202.75.57.171. While we humans access websites using domain names, web browsers work through IP addresses. Just like a phonebook, every time we enter a domain name (URL), DNS will convert it into an IP address so the browser can load the website.
What is a Nameserver?
A Nameserver keeps a huge quantity of data. It works to find the stored domain name and turn it into an IP address. A string of long numbers is hard to remember, right? So, it makes sure we only need to remember the domain name by interacting with the browser for you.
The way these DNS records are created is different, depending on your service provider. Normally you will need to use at least 2 different IP addresses for 2 different nameservers for top-level domain extensions: .com, .org, .net, etc.
