Domain name verification (DNS) is a process of confirming a domain name’s ownership by checking the corresponding DNS record. A DNS record is a set of data that is associated with a domain name. It contains information about the domain name, such as its owner, the IP address of the server that is providing the […]
Domain name to IP address translation is a process by which the Domain Name System (DNS) server translates a domain name into its associated IP address. Domain name resolution is the process by which the DNS server finds the IP address corresponding to a domain name. When a user types in a domain name, the […]
When a client computer sends a request to a domain name system DNS server, the request is typically in the form of a TCP or UDP packet. The type of packet depends on the protocol used to communicate with the DNS server. For example, when a client computer sends a query over the UDP protocol, […]
An authoritative DNS server is the topmost DNS server in the hierarchy for a specific domain name. This server is responsible for resolving DNS queries for that domain name. There are two main types of DNS servers: primary and secondary. A primary DNS server is the first DNS server that a client contacts when trying […]
There are a few things to consider when choosing a primary DNS for a domain controller. First and foremost, the DNS should be able to support the scale and traffic requirements of the domain. Additionally, the DNS should be able to reliably resolve DNS queries, and be able to stay up and running during high-traffic […]
Punycode was designed to make it easy for international users to register domain names in the Domain Name System DNS. However, Punycode does not allow for the full range of international characters, which means that some domain names cannot be registered using Punycode. Punycode is a format that uses small numbers and symbols to represent […]
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed database that provides a uniform resource locator (URL) for computers on the Internet. DNS allows a user’s computer to resolve a hostname to an IP address. The Domain Name System is critical for the proper functioning of the Internet. Without DNS, users would have to type […]
When it comes to DNS, the number of hierarchical domain levels we can have is limited only by our imagination. In theory, DNS can support an unlimited number of levels. However, in practice, the number of domains we can support is typically limited by the number of available IP addresses. The DNS hierarchy is made […]
DNS (Domain Name System) is a hierarchical, decentralized system for assigning unique domain names to resources on the Internet. Domain names are easily remembered and can be translated into any language. A domain name is a logical label assigned to a computer, server, or other resource. Domain names are important for two reasons: 1. They […]
Domain name systems (DNS) are used to translate domain names to IP addresses. DNS is a hierarchical system that translates domain names to IP addresses as follows: The root zone is the top level of the DNS. It contains all the information about the domain name system. The top-level domain (TLD) is the first level […]
