Home > Web Hosting Glossary > DNS (Domain Name Servers)

A Domain Name ServerM (DNS) keeps a database of domain names and their associated IP addresses. When a user searches for a domain name, the request must go through a Domain Name Server (DNS) to translate the domain name and obtain the corresponding IP address. This way the request can be routed to the correct server where the website resides.

Domains registered WestHost are automatically directed to our DNS. If you have registered your domain with a different Domain Registrar, you will need to have them change your Domain Name Servers to WestHost's:

Primary Nameserver
NS1.WEST-DATACENTER.NET
69.36.161.11

Secondary Nameserver
NS2.WEST-DATACENTER.NET
69.36.161.12
