You need to have high-quality, relevant written content. You need to incorporate visual elements to break up the text. You need to make navigation easy with accessible menu items. The list goes on. With a combination of these things, you are on track to creating a website that appropriately engages your users and search engine crawlers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, there is more to the process of building a website than making it look pretty and behave functionally. As a prospective site owner, you need to familiarize yourself with DNS (Domain Name System). DNS translates the domains that humans can read (like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">webii.net<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) into IP addresses that machines can read. This is a crucial part of how the internet works. With that in mind, let\u2019s dig into what you need to know about DNS.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key Phrases Related to DNS<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the top terminologies that you should understand prior to launching your website include:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Domain Name:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a unique name that is used to identify a website\u2019s location on a web server, which you will see in your browser. A <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/2022\/09\/guide-to-domain-names\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">domain name<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is more memorable than a complex IP address and is, therefore, more accessible.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Web Server:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A web server is computer software and underlying hardware that stores, processes, and delivers web pages.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Web Browser:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Often shortened to browser, web browsers are software applications that are used for accessing information online.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>IP Address:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Standing for Internet Protocol, your AP is a string of numerical characters that identify your computer network. IP addresses are mathematically produced and managed at a global scale by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iana.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internet Assigned Numbers Authority<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (IANA).<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Name Server:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the server that helps translate IP addresses into domain names to organize and route traffic across the internet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>CNAME:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A type of DNS database record, CNAME assigns an alias or nickname for one domain name to another domain name.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>MX Record:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This DNS record type makes it possible to direct emails to a mail server, showing where emails for a domain should be routed to.<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Top-Level Domain:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Also known as TLD, this is the last segment of text in a domain name and is considered the highest level in the hierarchical DNS of the internet. It includes .com or .net, for instance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Your Domain with a Registrar<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you decide to start a website, you need to have a domain in mind that you would like to purchase. Unfortunately, because it may be the case that your domain name has already been claimed, it\u2019s in your best interest to have backups. Given that there are hundreds of millions of registered domains today, you shouldn\u2019t get too hung up on one site name before looking into whether it already has an owner. While some people may be willing to sell the domain to you, that isn\u2019t true of everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you have solidified the domain that you will be using, you need to choose an authorized registrar. There are many registrars out there, such as GoDaddy and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sitereserve.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SiteReserve<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. How much you spend on your domain doesn\u2019t just depend on who your registrar is but also on the TLD that you want and the amount of time you are registering for. While domain registration is a fairly straightforward process, you want a reputable registrar so that you are properly protected.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14716\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14716\" class=\"wp-image-14716 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DNS-Image-2.jpg\" alt=\"DNS Image 2\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DNS-Image-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DNS-Image-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/427;\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set Up the DNS Records for Your Domain<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First things first, you need a DNS provider to host your domain\u2019s DNS records. But before the process of configuration, you also need to understand the different types of DNS records. DNS records provide important information about a domain or a hostname, including the current IP address. These records can be found stored in text files on the authoritative server. The most common DNS record type is the A record, which is used for IPv4 address lookups and blocking mail from spam sources.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monitor Your DNS Configuration<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given how complex DNS can be, small errors during the configuration process can cause big problems. For that reason, it is critical that you regularly monitor your configuration to ensure that everything is working as it should be. That is to say that your domain name is being properly mapped to your website and that traffic is being directed efficiently. By monitoring your DNS configuration, you ensure that your website is able to provide a fast, reliable experience to users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DNS is also a popular target for hackers. Thanks to your time spent monitoring, you don\u2019t fall victim to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/2021\/12\/cybersecurity-practices-you-can-do-from-your-office-or-home\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">malicious attacks<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on your domain. Examples that you could face otherwise include DNS poisoning (the insertion of false information into your DNS cache) and DDoS attacks (attempts to crash your website with excessive requests). To prevent your website from becoming more susceptible to cyberattacks, keep an eye on your IP address and MX records, specifically.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DNS Transfer in the Future<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Down the road, you might do some research and find that there is another provider available that can give you more of what you need. That might be more advanced features, more reliable uptime, or greater security. To get your DNS transferred to your new registrar, you will need to import your DNS records into their control panel. Next, update your domain registration to use the new name servers being used by your provider. Then, verify that they are properly configured, with the new name server being used for your domain name. Finally, keep up with monitoring, just as you were doing before.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">WEBii is a Texas-based digital agency that specializes in web hosting.
