What is a Nameserver?
A Nameserver is a server that maintains a database containing the associations between domain names and corresponding IP addresses. When a user types a domain name turkish number for whatsapp into their browser, the DNS system takes care of finding the IP address associated with that domain through the Nameservers.

Vanity Nameservers are essentially custom nameservers, using domain names owned by the user rather than those provided by the hosting provider.

For example, if you own a domain like mydomain.com , the Vanity Nameservers could be “ ns1.mydomain.com ” and “ ns2.mydomain.com ”. Through this customization, the domain can acquire several advantages, such as greater authority and a veil of professionalism .

In addition to a branding factor, using Vanity Nameservers can also help you with SEO by masking the fact that you are using shared Nameservers since they will have your domain name.
