Domain Names

Domain Name Servers (DNS) are the phone books of the Internet.  They map the names of computers (eg. something.com) to a numerical address that computers can understand.  Your web site will need a domain name that is associated with Endis Insight's web servers so that people can get to your web pages.

If your site needs a new domain name ...

Then Endis can register one on your behalf and make sure it is associated with your web site.  Ask Endis support for more information.

If you already use a domain name ....

Then to launch your site, arrangements will have to be made to change the entry in the DNS "phone book" to refer to the new web servers.   You need to start this process in plenty of time before your site launch date.

There are two steps to this:

1. Domain Name Transfer - this transfers the authority to administer the Name Server Records from your current ISP to Endis Insight.
   >> Transferring a Domain Name 
2. Site Launch - when you are ready to launch the site Endis Insight will modify the Name Server Records to associate your domain name with the new web site.

What about email?

Domain names not only point to web sites, they also match email addresses to mail servers.  The options for configuring email addresses on your domain are independent of the setup of your web site.
