DNS Set-up consists of
- Registering your domain name,
"YourDomainName.com",
- Programming your home page,
"YourDomainName.com/homepage.html"
|
          The DNS (Domain Naming System) is configured with software that
lets users locate
servers connected to the Internet by host name, so that the contents of a particular
website may be viewed.
The DNS server maintains a database
of host names and IP addresses, which is capable of associating host names with
their corresponding IP addresses at lightening speed.
            For instance, our host name is
programaticus.com, and when a
domain name such as programaticus.com is requested,
the DNS returns the IP address
206.142.20.213, and directs the user to our server. If it were not for the DNS, the
only alternative would be to type in our IP address every time you wanted to visit
our site.
