    It's to point your nameservers to other hosts.

    Or, if you want to buy a domain separately and host it yourself on a home server, you can do that too with everydns.net

    You cannot just make your own nameservers.

    Say your WebHost is Web Hosting Pad.

    You would need to point your Nameservers to ns1.webhostingpad.com and ns2.webhostingpad.com

    one benefit is staying anonymous. Another is most of dns management cos are more professional than ur cheap host as they have server optimised for it and everything is not on single server.

    Mostly good if you use one domain for many diff purposes professionally.
