Question What are the differences between Hostname and Nameservers?

[humgurung]

In my learning phase- what are the differences between Hostname and Nameservers? Please give me some examples if possible.

Hostname: A domain name by that your host can be reached. it can be a fully qualified domain like domain.com or a subdomain like domain29438.somewhere.ata.providerwebsite.net.

Nameserver: A server that translates domain names into IP addresses.

Thank you @Peter Debik,
How can I set up 'Nameservers' so domains/websites use the same nameservers?

In the Plesk web host edition a fully featured nameserver system is included. Normally you need a dedicated server for that to work, because the bind service must run and be controllable by you. If you do not have your own server or the Plesk web host edition, normally the place where you rent your domain names from has nameservers for you that you can use for free.
