What is dedicated DNS hosting (and why do you need it?)
The DNS (domain name system) is what makes web addresses like www.dedicateddns.eu actually work. It relates the domain name to an IP address such as 193.111.200.100, the 'real' underlying address of the server.
So, as well as email hosting and web hosting, every website or email address also needs DNS hosting.
You don't tend to hear so much about this, because it's usually thrown in with one or more of the other services.
But once your setup moves beyond a simple website and hosted email setup, DNS hosting is something you need to think about.
DNS hosting explained
Most Internet users rely on their Internet Service Provider to manage their primary and secondary DNS on their behalf. It's definitely the simplest and easiest approach.
When do you need to manage DNS?
