What's a Nameserver got to do with a domain name?

Simplifying here, if you punch in "www.mydomain.com", your browser will look for the domain's location online. It finds the name server information from the domain database, which tells the browser what server to access. Once the server is found it shows the pages for that domain's account on the server - and bingo yourdomain.com is visible in your browser. So in order for your web site to be visible online, your domain name has to "point" from the database to our servers -- that means your domain registration account has to have the correct DNS information in it for our servers.
