Hello there, and welcome to ArkHost! If you're new to our platform or just considering transferring your domain here, we have some essential info for you. We've put together this friendly guide to help you understand what happens when you register or move a domain to ArkHost.
What's a Nameserver Anyway?
First, let's cover some basics. Nameservers act like the internet's address book. They keep track of where your domain (your website's name) points to on the internet. So, when someone types in your domain, the nameservers direct them to the correct web hosting location where your website lives. Pretty cool, huh?
Our Nameservers
When you register or transfer a domain to ArkHost, we automatically point your domain to our own nameservers.
- ns1.arkhost.com
- ns2.arkhost.com
Why Our Nameservers?
You might be asking, "Why should I care about which nameservers are used?" Well, here are some fantastic reasons:
Robust Infrastructure: Our DNS configuration ensures high availability and reliability for your domain's DNS.
Quick Response Times: We've optimized our nameservers to provide fast DNS resolution, contributing to a smooth browsing experience for your visitors.
Simple Management: By using our default nameservers, you can handle all your DNS settings straight from your ArkHost control panel. It's as easy as pie!
Want to Change Nameservers?
Even though we provide these nameservers by default, you're not stuck with them. If you need to switch things up, you can change your nameservers directly from your ArkHost control panel. Just keep in mind, these changes can take up to 48 hours to spread across the internet, so don't fret if you don't see immediate results.
If you're unsure about how to do this, we've got you covered. Check out our separate guide titled "How to change your Nameservers in ArkHost" for a step-by-step walkthrough.
