Web Hosting | DNS Hosting

A website owner must register the domain name that they like before they can use. This ensures that they will be the only ones who are using that specific domain name. Registration of domain names are handled by domain name registrars accredited with the ICANN or the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. Usually, these domain name registrars also offer DNS hosting services, where they maintain DNS servers. 

Website owners are typically advised to have a separate DNS hosting provider from their domain name registrar even if they offer free DNS hosting services. A separate DNS hosting provider will ensure that their website will still be accessible and online if either the domain name registrar encounters problems or the separate DNS hosting company does. 

There are also some web hosting companies which include or provide services for domain name registration and DNS hosting. Though this may be convenient for a website owner, it would still be best to have another company handling DNS hosting services for them. This will lessen their headaches if they encounter problems with their web hosting provider and will need to change providers in the future. They will not need to get a new DNS hosting company, but only make changes in their DNS records.
