Once you have a domain you need to have authoritative DNS servers. These are servers which tell the rest of the world what information you have associated with the domain. For example, if you had example.com you might have decided that www.example.com would have an IP address of 198.51.100.0. This means when anyone tried www.example.com in a web browser they would connect to IP address 198.51.100.0 to get the web page. The DNS servers are what hold that information and tell any computer in the world the answer if they ask. The registry is who tells them which DNS servers to ask in the first place. |
