1. NAMESERVERS:

Nameservers is a specialized server on the internet that handles
queries or questions from your Local Computer, about the location of a
Domain name's various Services.
For a better and vivid clue to this,
take this example:

you are viewing this post on my domain

Loadedjaka

but how did your Computer knows which webpage to display for you and
what server to pick it from?

Your web browser knows you typed

www.loadedjaka.com

into the web address bar, then your computer uses DNS ( Domain Name
System) to retrieve nameservers for loadedjaka.com

example of nameservers of This weblog

pro1.philmorehost.net
pro2. Philmorehost.net
then your Computer queries our nameservers for the Address record for

Loadedjaka.com

our public nameserver responded back with the IP address ( Internet Protocol)

199.231.65.4

your computer sends a request to the Above IP address along with the
page you're requesting, our web server hosting then sends your web
browser the requested page.
Hope you got what Nameservers means and its function?


2. DNS:
This stands for (Domain Name System) it always translates the URL (
Uniform Resource Locator) to an internet Protocol ( IP) That can be
used to locate the host server of a particular website.

Example:
when you typed in

www.google.com to navigate, however, the url itself means nothing to
the computer.

You must bear in mind that All Computers and web servers on the
internet are assigned a specific number known as IP address.

IP address is a unique identifier of a server or Computer just like a
postal address, in order to fetch data for a particular website.


3. ISP :

As the name implies ( Internet Service Provider) is that Company or
organisation whose duty is to provide internet service to a
home/business.
Example: MTN NIGERIA, GLO NIGERIA


4. DOMAIN REGISTRAR CONTROL PANEL:

It is the control panel for managing your domain and provided by your
Domain Registrar. They sells Domain names to Users. Most of them
permits you point your domain to nameeservers you specify via the
control panel.
Whenever a change is done on a nameserver, depending on the registrar,
the initial process must be completed before DNS for your domain can
be propagated to the rest of the internet.
