Here you'll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Domain Name:
A domain name is your website name and is the address where Internet users can access your website. A domain name is used for finding and identifying computers on the Internet. Computers use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, which are a series of number. However, it is difficult for humans to remember strings of numbers. Because of this, domain names were developed and used to identify entities on the Internet rather than using IP addresses.
A domain name can be any combination of letters and numbers, and it can be used in combination of the various domain name extensions (TLDs), such as .co.uk, .com, .org, .net and more.
The most commonly known domain suffixes are .com and .co.uk. For easy recognition and branding, you would normally want to use one of these. For UK businesses, we would generally recommend using .co.uk whereas if you are intending to trade overseas and don't want to be considered as primarily a UK company we would suggest that you pick a .com.
Domain Name System (DNS) is the system that is used to translate human-memorable domain name like "magichosting.co.uk" into the corresponding numeric Internet Protocol (IP) address as well as to identify and locate computer system and resources on the Internet.
When you use an alphanumeric address like "magichosting.co.uk" your computer needs to understand what numerical IP address it should contact to show up the content.
Domain Name Server is a server responsible for keeping the file that contains information about the domain name(s) and corresponding IP addresses (zone file) as well as for providing the Domain Name System information during DNS queries.
Domain Name Servers are a fundamental part of the Domain Name System. Nameserver is a server on the Internet specialized in handling queries regarding the location of the domain name’s various services. In other words, name servers define your domain's current DNS provider.
All domains usually have at least two DNS servers. For example: we provide name servers for all domains registered with us and their values are:
Primary Name Server: ns1.magichosting.co.uk
Secondary Name Server: ns2.magichosting.co.uk
When you make a request for anything related to the domain name, it gets sent to one of the name servers. In response, the DNS Server sends back the IP address. This works for the Website, Mail Servers, and anything else based on the domain name.
Our default name servers for Shared Hosting are:
Primary Name Server: ns1.magichosting.co.uk
Secondary Name Server: ns2.magichosting.co.uk
DNS propagation is the process by which the computers on the Internet update their records to reflect new Domain Names and site names. Once your Domain Name has been propagated throughout the Internet, your Domain Name can be accessed. The process can take from 24-72 hours.
