What are the HostPapa nameservers?

In this article, we will explain what a nameserver is and where you can find HostPapa’s nameservers. 

What is a nameserver?

A nameserver is a computer that hosts DNS (Domain Name System) zone files. DNS converts these files from human-readable domain names (e.g. example.com) into computer-readable IP addresses (e.g. 192.0.32.10). Learn more about DNS here

HostPapa’s nameserver details will be sent to you in a welcome email when you purchase a domain or hosting service. You can also find these nameserver details through your HostPapa Dashboard.
