What is a primary and secondary name server? Print

  • 20

Primary and Secondary name servers are the two host computers on which a domain name is hosted. When a domain lookup is carried out, the Primary DNS server is consulted first, and then the Secondary server or servers. 
For example, the primary and secondary name servers of Wmirchi.com are, 
ns1.wmirchi.com and ns2.wmirchi.com.
