Enom : nameserver question

[Michelle Taylor]

HI

Can a nameserver end with a . (dot)

Ex. ns1.abc.com. or like this ns1.abc.com

For you information, I've registered a domain through enom and have my site at different web host. I need to give the right nameserver to enom.

You don't need to add dot at the end, if this is with Enom. However DNS extension can take up to 48hrs.

Yes, you can add a . after the name server.
even if you miss it, while the process of the resolution the . is added up automatically, so you do not need to worry about a . at the end.

We never type

www.google.com.

in our internet browser , do we ?

we just type

www.google.com

and while the name resolution process, a . is appended at the end if its not present.
same is the case with name servers
