hey everyone i was trying to get a domain and this is what it said:
This domain will be hosted by another ISP using the DNS servers given. (Specify the host name of each DNS server, not the IP address. eg: ns1.dnsserver.co.uk)
Primary DNS:
Secondary DNS:


and this is when i was tryin to get a server for the domain wich is a free server so could i use the hosting ill be given on my domain?

u really should be more specific but ill do my best.


yes. (if ur question was can you use the hosting you'll be given on your domain?) u just ask ur new web hosts what their domain servers are and put them in right there.
by the way... what host r u using?

I'm not sure what DNS servers do. I do know that Trap17 has two of them. I do also think that Trap17's DNS servers are broken.

Trap17's Servers:

• ns1.trap17.com
  
• ns2.trap17.com

I think so too, Something's been going on recently, my site's only been accesible through the sub-domain.

I have no clue what that means.

okay a DNS is a name server. what it does is change an IP address into a name. so when u enter a name like "www.yahoo.com" the DNS changes it into the IP number (example: xx.xxx.xx.xxx) then when yahoo sends the information back to the you, the DNS changes it back into a www format
so if the DNS servers are broken down, that means that the only way to access the site is by typing in the IP address for each page. . (REALLY REALLY chalenging, almost imposible because u have to know exactly what it is each time) or, like thablkpanda said, by a sub-domain of a working site.

SImple Ok

If you gotta toplevel Domain like .com.
Then you gotta a hosting (free or paid) to support a Parked Domain.
you can change your dns server to the Name Server of HOsting haz given you.like ns2.trap17.com
THen go to the HOsting to parked it. xxx.com

If you gotta a .com domain but the hosting cant support DNS,you won't do it.

By the way.No subdomain can support DNS bind I think. Good luck
