DNS

DNS is an acronym for Domain Name System, a distributed directory of domain names and IP addresses. This distributed directory is implemented by special Internet servers called nameservers. A domain name (for example, domain.com) is simply a pointer to an IP address, the unique number that identifies the location of a server connected to the Internet. Your Virtual Server has a unique IP address. Domain names are also unique and must be registered with an accredited registrar. It is likely that you already have a domain, or you will want to register a new one, to identify your Virtual Server.

Registering a New Domain Name

If your domain name is not already registered, we provide discounted Domain Registration Services for .com, .net, and .org domain names. We cannot help you register any domain name that is not a .com, .net, or .org domain. You will need to take care of the registration yourself. See our Domain Name Registration Guidelines, for step-by-step instructions.

Transferring an Existing Domain Name

You may already have a domain name that is currently being hosted by another provider that you wish to use instead with your Virtual Server. Our Domain Name Transfer Guidelines have information that will help you seamlessly transfer the domain name from your current hosting provider to your Virtual Server.

The domain name servers used by Stormer Hosting are:

Primary Domain Name Server
NS1.SECURE.NET 192.41.1.10
NS8629-HST

Secondary Domain Name Server
NS2.SECURE.NET 161.58.9.10
NS8630-HST

Resources

We provide several CGI suites that you can use to offer simple web interface DNS services to your own customers.
