Q : What is a domain name ?
A : A domain name is a character name (e.g. Nameswand.com) which provides a more memorable name to replace the numeric IP addresses. Ip addresses identify computers which are part of the computer network known as the Internet. Domain names must be unique. A web user can access a website by typing its domain name into the address bar of their web browser.

A : As soon as a transfer request is initiated an email is sent to the address of the admin contact for the domain, asking for the terms of the transfer to be accepted. Once accepted this opens a seven-day transfer window. The current registrar will then be contacted, requesting that they accept or decline the transfer. If no action is taken the transfer will complete automatically at the end of the seven-day period.

The main function of DNS is to translate domain names into IP Addresses, which computers can understand. It also provides a list of mail servers which accept Emails for each domain name.
Each domain name in DNS will nominate a set of name servers to be authoritative for its DNS records. This is where all other name servers will be pointed when looking for information about the domain name
Q : What is a nameserver ?

For your domain name to function correctly you need to assign two or more name servers to it.
