What are nameservers?
Domain name servers contain the information of which IP address belongs to which domain name. Each time a site is addressed on the internet, a nameserver must return the relevant IP address in order to enable the browser to establish a direct connection to the site. nic.at requests at least two valid nameserver entries even at the registration of the domain. Please contact your ISP unless you have these entries. A list of all nic.at partner ISPs (so-called registrars) can be found here.
Nameservers are machines on the Internet which translate domain names into IP addresses. Your domain name must use at least one nameserver in order to function properly. You can use the default nameservers provided by DomainInTheUSA.com (NS1.NORTHERNPRIDE.COM and NS2.NORTHERNPRIDE.COM), or you can use the nameservers provided by your web hosting company. If you wish to host your domain name with a web hosting company, you will need to contact your hosting company to determine their preferred nameservers (this will often be NS1.COMPANYNAME.COM and NS2.COMPANYNAME.COM). Once you have this information, simply login to your DomainInTheUSA.com control panel and update your domain name’s nameservers. If you prefer your domain name to display DomainInTheUSA.com’s “domain reserved” page, or if you wish to use any of DomainInTheUSA.com’s value-added services (such as URL forwarding and email forwarding) services, you should always use DomainInTheUSA.com’s default nameservers (NS1.DOMAINDISCOVER
