Domain Names and DNS

Domain names are the unique addresses that identify websites. When a person goes to a website, their computer looks up the domain name (example.

com) and then sends a request to the appropriate server.

Domain names are registered with a domain name registrar, such as GoDaddy.com.

The registrar assigns a domain name to a customer, who then pays a fee for the privilege.

When you purchase a domain name, the registrar registers the name with the appropriate DNS provider. DNS providers are responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses (the numbers that identify a computer on the internet).

To get a free domain and DNS, first you need to set up a domain name. You can do this by registering with a domain name registrar, such as GoDaddy.

com. Once you have registered the domain name, the registrar will provide you with the DNS provider information.

Once you have the domain name and DNS provider information, you can set up a free account with DynDNS. DynDNS provides a free service that allows you to manage your domain name and DNS records.

DynDNS also provides a free API that you can use to integrate DynDNS with other applications.

In summary, to get a free domain and DNS, you first need to set up a domain name and register with a domain name registrar.
