The computer that organizes and converts the typed-in text Domain names, for instance, CubaDomainsForSale.com to correspond to their IP addresses, for example, 123.456.789.101, so that the computers on our desktop will "talk" to the computers that manage the internet. GOSSIPY DOMAIN NAME WORDS

In TCP/IP, synonym for Domain Name Server. In Internet communications, a host that translates symbolic names assigned to networks and hosts into Internet addresses.

The computer that organizes domain names to correspond to their IP addresses. Also called a host.

A server responsible for answering DNS resolution requests.

Also known as Domain Name System server (DNS) maintains a database of domain names (host names) and their corresponding IP addresses. This is what allows for domain names to index specific IP addresses on the Internet.

Nameservers (or Domain Name Servers) are the machines that perform the DNS function, containing zone files listing all the hosts on their network, and their corresponding IP addresses. If a nameserver is unable to determine which IP address a given hostname (i.e. www.opensrs.org) should map to, it will at least be able to point to another nameserver, which will either contain the information, or pass the request on until the correct nameserver is found.

A server that stores information about the domain name space.

(1) A software program that can resolve a domain name to an IP Address. The BIND program is a common name server program on Unix. (2) A computer running a name server program. In Windows NT, 2000 and XP, you can use the 'nslookup' program on the command line to manually issue a DNS query to a nearby name server.

A server responsible for translating domain names and IP addresses.

A server responsible for translating domain names to IP addresses. For example, a Name Server might translate the domain name internic.net to the Internet Protocol (IP) address 198.41.0.6.

In the DNS client/server model, a server authoritative for a portion of the DNS database. The server makes computer names and other information available to client resolvers that are querying for name resolution across the Internet or an intranet. See also Domain Name System (DNS).

A program running on a network that provides a central database of information, such as Internet addresses and the names of hosts on which people receive mail.

A computer that performs the mapping of Domain Names to IP addresses. Must run specialized software such as BIND in the UNIX operating system. Ideally, they should have a constant and fast connection to the Internet. They also must be registered with a .com .net .org Registry so that their addresses can be logged and they can be found within the DNS system. Domain Names must be hosted on at least 2 unique (different) Name Servers at all times.

A name server translates the web name, such as www.ParaNis-Pages.com to an IP Address.

a computer permanently connected to the Internet that lists domain names and the locations of their respective web sites

A computer on a network that maintains a list of all known IP addresses and their text equivalents.

Also referred to as a "host server," a computer that performs the mapping of easily remembered domain names to IP addresses.

A computer that maps domain names to IP addresses.

A server to which one or more domains is delegated.

A machine that contains a local record mapping domain names and IP addresses. Domain names reference two name servers: a primary name server and a secondary name server. The latter is used if the former is inaccessible for any reason.

A machine on the network that allows you to resolve hostnames into IP addresses.

Also called a host (name server). A computer that has both the software and the data (zone file) needed to resolve domain names to Internet Protocol (IP) numbers. Also See Domain Name System (DNS)

A daemon running on a system that client processes contact to obtain the addresses of hosts or other objects in a network. This daemon translates a machine's network name to its network IP address.

See OpenSTA Name Server.

In TCP/IP networking terms, a name server is a computer that can translate a human-readable name (such as "foo.bar.com") into a numeric address (such as "10.0.2.14").

Server which transforms Web names into numerical addresses.

A program or computer that translates names from one form into another. For example, a Domain Name Server (also called a "host server") performs the mapping of domain names to IP numbers.

A server that resolves network names into network addresses.

Host that translates domain names into IP addresses.

A server responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses which are needed to find the server which has your website on it. When you register a domain or move a domain from one host to another, it takes 24-48 hours for the changes to spread to all of the name servers around the world. This is why you cannot access your website by its domain name right after buying the domain.

A server responsible for translating IP addresses and domain names.

Name servers translate names from one form into another. For example, the Internet relies on Domain Name Servers (DNS) that translate domain names ( for example, www.intel.com) into IP Addresses (for example 225.225.225.0).

A computer (server) that has both the software and the data (zone files) needed to resolve domain names to Internet Protocol (IP) numbers. Domain names must be programmed into a minimum of two name servers hosted on separate networks.

A computer that holds Domain Name Server (DNS) records. DNS records, keep track of your web site's domain name and address.

(Also called DNS Server or Domain Name Server) - A server that translates domain names to IP addresses for Internet queries.

Also called a host or a name server. A computer that has both the software and the data (zone files) needed to resolve domain names to Internet Protocol (IP) numbers.

Software that runs on network hosts charged with translating (or resolving) text-style names into numeric IP addresses.

A name server, or domain name server, maintains the cross-reference between domain names and their corresponding IP addresses. Name servers are used so that people don’t have to remember long numerical IP addresses.

A program that stores and tracks DNS information. Also see: DNS.

A program or computer that translates one type of name into another.For example, a name server receives a query about a domain name and then sends back the IP address for that domain.

It is aserver responsible for translating IP addresses and domain names.

This is an address that recieves your domain and broadcasts your site to the net.

A server that associates domain names and IP addresses.

Also called a host. This is a computer that has both the software and the data (zone files) needed to resolve domain names to Internet Protocol numbers.[Return to Main Menu

In an nCUBE 2 system, the name server provides a global repository of string information accessible from any nCUBE node. Client processes obtain information about services and process IDs from the name server.

A computer program which is responsible for looking up IP addresses of Internet sites. Client programs (such as web browsers) use name servers to locate the actual IP address of a web page URL. Deb realized the name server computer was "down" when she couldn't successfully connect to sites using her web browser and continued to receive the error message: "Site name does not exist."

n. See CSO name server, DNS server.

Server connected to a network that resolves network names into network addresses.

DNS Domain Name System-A distributed database that maps IP addresses to domain names. A DNS server, keeps a list of names and the IP addresses associated with each name.

A computer running a program that converts domain names into appropriate IP addresses and vice versa.

A host that provides name resolution for a network. Name servers translate symbolic names assigned to networks and hosts into the efficient Internet addresses used by machines.

See domain name server.

A program that stores and tracks DNS information. Hosting

A name server is a computer server that implements a name service protocol. It will normally map a computer-usable identifier of a host to a human-usable identifier for that host. For example, a Domain Name System (DNS) server might translate the domain name en.wikipedia.org to the Internet Protocol (IP) address 145.97.39.155.
