The domain name system (DNS) consists of a hierarchy of Nameservers, also known as DNS servers. The purpose of the DNS system is to translate human-readable domain names into IP addresses on a global scale.

DNS is the Internet's equivalent of a phone book.

DNS works in the background, and it's not something the average internet user will need to worry about much. But without it, your browser wouldn’t know where to point your web page request, and finding the information you need would be a much more arduous process.

If you register your discounted custom domain through FASO, we automatically handle this for you.

If you already have a domain (with a non-FASO registrar), you can use it by pointing your domain, accomplished by changing the Name Servers.
