Question DNS Maintenance > Default Nameservers

Hello everyone,

What does "default nameservers" mean ?

Does it refer to Surpass Hosting's ns100.dizinc.com & ns101.dizinc.com ?

Thank you!

Nameservers are basically the road signs that point your domain to your space on the server.

actually it's probably more frequent than that - and times are 'randomized' so that all servers don't try to update at the same time.

Once you make your change, it has to propogate. That can take anywhere from 12 - 48 hours...
