How do i use domain name servers.
 

Brighthouse offers two domain name servers with there account.
I was hoping someone would know something about them and tell
me what I could do with them in a way i could understand.

Is there anyway to use these two domain name servers on my computer
to make my own domain that people could access over the internet?

Brighthouse blocks port 80 and I was wondering if that's only blocking
the ip address port 80 and not the domain names they have made available to me.

I want to put them to use but I'm not sure what there for or even how. I have read alot about using suse linuxes dns installation system to install dns but i don't really understand what exactly a dns server could be unless I do and I am just incapable of making myself personal domain names.

Also the domain name servers they offer are just ip addresses I don tknow if they have to be something different to have a your own domain name.

There's no difference in an 'ip address' port and a ' domain name' port, they are exactly the same thing, I.e. the ip:port. The name servers you can use from them are presumably for you to use as ns records for a domain you might buy from a domain registrar. You can then edit the dns entries for the domain at your liberty.

Alternatively, theses name servers might just be big standard name servers for your clients to use, in which case they are really nothing of interest in the slightest.

From Linux Home Networking: "Domain Name System (DNS) converts the name of a Web site (www.linuxhomenetworking.com) to an IP address (65.115.71.34). This step is important, because the IP address of a Web site's server, not the Web site's name, is used in routing traffic over the Internet."

To use the Internet you need to configure your computer with the IP addresses of some DNS servers. Usually the fastest ones (because they are "near" in network terms) are your ISP's.

That's the normal stuff everybody does.

If you want to go further and have your own domain name, you need to buy one. You could then set up services (example: web server) on rented or free server space or on you own computer. For anybody to be able to access those services via your domain name you would then need to have a publicly visible DNS server which "resolves" your domain name to the appropriate IP address. You cold not set up a standard web server on your own computer because your ISP blocks port 80.
