What is the Domain Name System?
|
The Domain Name System (DNS) helps users to find their way around the Internet. Every computer on the
Internet has a unique address just like a telephone number which is a rather complicated string of
numbers.
It is called its "IP address" (IP stands for "Internet Protocol"). But it is hard to remember
everyone's IP address. The DNS makes it easier by allowing a familiar string of letters (the "domain name") to
be used instead of the arcane IP address. So instead of typing 192.0.34.65, you can type www.artpickle.com. It is
a "mnemonic" device that makes addresses easier to remember. Translating the name into the IP address
is called "resolving the domain name."
The goal of the DNS is for any Internet user any place in the
world to reach a specific website IP address by entering its domain name. Domain names are also used for
reaching e-mail addresses and for other Internet applications.

What does it mean to "register" a domain name?
|
The Internet domain name system (DNS) consists of a directory, organized hierarchically, of all the
domain names and their corresponding computers registered to particular companies and persons using the
Internet.
When you register a domain name, it will be associated with the computer on the Internet you designate
during the period the registration is in effect. From that computer, you can create a website which will be
accessible to Internet users around the world.

How do I register a domain name?
|
Domain names can be registered through many different companies (known as "registrars") that compete
with one another. The registrar you choose will ask you to provide various contact and technical information
that makes up the registration. The registrar keeps records of the contact information and
submits the technical information to a central directory known as the "registry."
This registry provides other
computers on the Internet the information necessary to send you e-mail or to find your web site. You will also
be required to enter a registration contract with the registrar, which sets forth the terms under which your
registration is accepted and will be maintained.
