What is a nameserver?

Similar to a phonebook with names and numbers, a nameserver maintains a directory of domains that correspond to particular IP addresses.

It is where your domain's DNS server records, such as those for "iTech.Support," are kept. The IP address, which is a series of integers, is given by nameservers whenever you enter a domain name into a web browser. Without nameservers, you would have to memorise that string of numbers for each website you wanted to visit.

Your web browser looks for the nameservers for www.mywebsite.com using DNS when you type "www.mywebsite.com" into the address bar. Retrieving the nameservers ns1.mywebsite.com, ns2.mywebsite.com ns3.mywebsite.com.and ns4.mywebsite.com. 

Your browser then consults the nameservers to determine the IP address for 'www.mywebsite.com.' Your browser will then receive an IP address, to which it will send a request. The web server that hosts the website sends the requested page to the browser.

The nameservers for iTech Cloud are as follows: ns1.itechdns.com, ns2.itechdns.com, ns3.itechdns.com, and ns4.itechdns.com. These nameservers use Google's high-end DNS infrastructure to provide fully redundant and stable nameservers.
