I just bought a domain, and now I'm setting it up with my free x10 hosting.In their guide for how to add your own domain, it says you just need to point your domain to their nameservers, and then add it in the parked domains panel.My question is, how does this work? How does my register provider (GoDaddy) know to send the traffic to my host, just from entering my domain name into the parked domains list and setting the nameservers, without any other type of verification on GoDaddy's side?
How does x10hosting connect your domain to their servers/DNS
domains;dns;godaddy
A simpler answer:In the nameserver change process you described, you're telling Godaddy, Hey when someone types in my site (yoursite.com) send them to these  files (hosting account).And when you type in (yoursite.com) in the parked domain field on x10host you're saying, The traffic coming from here are my visitors.Look at parked domains more like valet parking. Nameservers are the keys to your car, and parking a domain is the tag  on your car's (color/make/lot# etc.). Without both, valet can't find  and drive your car back to you.
