So you just bought your domain name from GoDaddy and you are wondering what to do next? It is time to point your newly acquired domain name at your web server. We call this ‘Pointing’ or ‘Setting up’ your nameservers.

So What is a Nameserver?

Nameservers are like the road signs of the internet. For example, if you type a domain name into your web browser (also known as an ‘address’), a site usually pops up. That is because your browser followed all the road signs (nameservers) until it ended up at your destination, the web site you were requesting. These road signs need to be setup by somebody. That somebody is probably you, unless you have a web designer working for you, who will gladly handle this task.
