Beth,

Onestop.com is correct.  The IP addresses will have to be resolved to
ns1.onestop.com and ns2.onestop.com if they are hosting the web site.  This
is the norm, NOT the exception as your question seems to infer.  By
resolving the website to ns1.onestop.com (and ns2.onestop.com as the
secondary), then onestop.com's server configuration will then serve your
website to the viewer as requested by his/her browser.  It is highly
uncommon to enter ns1.luckyladyllamas.com for instance into the DNS table.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
