Domain name servers are connected to the internet and use special software to translate Domain Names into numerical IP addresses (Internet Protocol Numbers) used by the internet.
Name servers may also support inverse queries that map a particular resource to a domain name or domain names that have that resource.
Domain name servers operate as databases which are able to translate the domain names into an numerical address which computers recognise.

Domain name servers are usually located at your Internet Service Provider (ISPs), but are sometimes also maintained on the local PC networks of businesses and organizations.
Name servers perform the critical task of translating Internet domain names to the address numbers needed to connect online.
They register domain names into central computers which are accessed by individual DNS servers.

Domain names are registered by Internic, and the conversion to IP addresses is done online by Domain Name Servers at the point of access to the Internet, usually through an ISP server.
Domain Name Server Information To initiate a domain name transfer through your domain registrar, you'll need the DNS information.
These Domain Names were mapped to actual IP addresses of the websites on special host servers called DNS servers.

There are by definition authoritive name servers for both of these domains and we shall assume that the name server in both of these cases is a machine called nic.
