It also provides details of the mail server responsible for handling your domains email. DNS values are normally set to your ISP - if you're unsure what to do (or what any of this means), ask them - and they'll tell you what values to set. You can even create a sub-user account for your domain, so that your ISP can log in and change the details themselves.

To improve reliability, DNS service for a domain is typically provided by multiple DNS servers: one primary DNS server and one or more secondary DNS servers. The difference between primary and secondary DNS is one of administration. The administrator of the primary DNS controls what names exist in the domain by configuring the DNS resource records for the domain, while the secondary DNS server(s) copy the domain's records from the primary server via an automated process known as a zone transfer.

Each of our servers have a specific domain name server and specific IP address. An example is ns1.hostvertex.com (64.21.83.67) and ns2.hostvertex.com (64.21.83.68). Please refer to your Welcome Email for your server info. If you can not locate it, drop us a support ticket.
