How do domain name servers work?
The Internet’s DNS system works much like a phone book by managing the mapping between names and numbers. DNS servers translate requests for names into IP addresses, controlling which server an end user will reach when they type a domain name into their web browser. These requests are called queries.
What is difference between DNS and name server?
DNS is a standard set of protocols that allow computers to communicate via the Internet. A name server, on the other hand, is a server where your DNS information is actually stored so that it’s accessible by the Internet. It is a fundamental part of the DNS that helps connect URLs with the IP addresses of web servers.
What is nameserver lookup?
Nameserver lookup or NS Lookup is a tool for getting name server records of any domain name. NS is a record type of DNS, and it is set up via a hosting provider. Whenever a browser sends a DNS request to DNS server, it sends back the nameserver records, and the name servers are then used to get real IP address behind a domain name.

How do I point my domain name to my hosting provider?
When you register your domain through a domain registrar, your domain is usually first pointed to your domain registrar’s nameservers. Your domain registrar is the place where you can edit your domain’s nameservers. If you want to use these nameservers, edit your DNS records to point your domain name towards your hosting provider.
