Rec Room API

The NameServer is a JSON Response used for giving the URLs of the different API URLs to the Client . (In this context, Your Rec Room Build.)

The Route for Name Server is just the root or /

Here is an Example for Late 2018:

{
    "API":"https://api.yourserver.com",
    "Images":"https://cdn.yourserver.com",
    "Notifications":"https://notifications.youserver.com"
}

Now you dont need subdomains OR a domain for this. you can run purely off of http but it is not recommended as its unsecure, unencrypted and attackers can easily intercept connections with the server.

The reason the NameServer is used is to seperate different loads across different servers so one computer wasn't handling all the load from the users. instead Images are seperated from API so the API doesn't work with Images and the Image server doesn't work with any APIs (Usually).

You don't need multiple servers, you can make the url all the same url if you want one server to handle all. (Again not recommened).
