Whenever you want to host a new domain or transfer one to our network you must have the proper settings in your domain registry (registrar) to tell the world where your web site is. Our DNS settings are currently:

Primary DNS Server:          ns1.internetmatrix.com

Secondary DNS Server:      ns2.internetmatrix.com

These settings are critical in telling Internet networks where your domain hosting is located.

Do not confuse an Internet Host and an Internet Registrar. They are completely different services on the Internet. Here is a breakdown:

INTERNET HOST:   This is what Internet Matrix Inc. is. We provide business class hosting solutions to you. Think of us as your car or truck. We provide the domain hosting.

INTERNET REGISTRAR: This is where you register the right to use a certain domain name. There are many places out there that provide this service. A registrar is where you tell the world that you have a domain name and the registrar provides this information to other networks. Think of this service as your license to drive. These companies generally don't provide the hosting part. We like to use W3 registry in Vancouver, CA.  http://www.w3registry.com

So what is your INTERNET PROVIDER?

This third service is how you connect to the Internet at home. This can be through Dial Up Modem, Cable Modem, DSL, Satellite, etc..    These services provide you with a raw connection to the Internet for your personal use. They do not intend on having you do any commercial services on these connections which is why you have service with a company like ours. We provide professional, commercial quality, and 24 hour connections to the Internet for your business.

With so many terms and definitions it's easy to get confused on who does what on the Internet. We hope that this document helps a little bit.
