What is Domain Control Panel and Domain Nameservers (DNS)?

Your domain registrar will provide you with a domain control panel so that you may set your domain nameservers (DNS) setting. When you sign up for web hosting, the web host will provide you with their DNS information. It usually looks something like ns1.domainname.com and ns2.domainname.com. This is the connection that points your domain to your web hosting company. If you ever change hosting providers, you will change this to point to the new provider. DNS changes don’t work instantly. Each Internet Service Provider (ISP) on the planet must make a copy of the master database before each of that ISP’s users can use the domain name to visit the site. Most major ISPs update their database daily, but a few only update every few days. The DNS change will work for most internet users the next day.
