DNS Hosting
Secure and Reliable Hosting

Short for Domain Name System (or Service or Server), DNS Hosting is a service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember. The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses. Therefore, every time you use a domain name a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.

DNS Hosting Key Features

Name Servers – Name servers are setup to maintain host addresses for each sub-domain or zone within the name space as well as to maintain the address of root name server.
A Record – An A record is a component of a zone file, which is used to direct domain names to a certain IP address.
CNAME Record – (Canonical Name Record) An entry in your DNS table (zone file) that aliases a FQDN to another FQDN (i.e. www.your-domain.com -> your-domain.com). In other words, the CNAME record specifies another domain to which the user would be redirected.
MX Record – Mail eXchange Record is an entry in a domain name database that specifies a mail server to handle a domain name's email.
IP Address – (Internet Protocol Address) A unique number consisting of 4 parts separated by dots, eg 165.113.245.2 . Every machine that is on the Internet has a unique IP address.
FQDN – (Fully Qualified Domain Name) A complete domain name consisting of a host, the second-level domain, and the top-level domain.
