All About Domain Names

How Domain Names Work

A domain name works by translating the human-friendly web address you type into a browser into a numerical IP address that computers use to find a website's server, a process managed by the Domain Name System (DNS). When you type a domain name like "ameriwebhosting.com," your computer queries a DNS server, which acts like the internet's phonebook, to find the corresponding IP address (ours is 104.152.169.124) and then directs your browser to the correct server to load the website. This system makes it easy for people to access websites without having to memorize long strings of numbers.

The DNS system contains numerous entries.
Each has its own function. EXAMPLES:

• A RECORD is the IP address for the individual server hosting your site. Ours is 104.152.169.124
• CNAME RECORD is an alias record, pointing to the domain
• MX RECORD for email services including SMTP, POP3 and IMAP
• NS RECORDS assist your nameservers and help increase site lookup speed
• TXT RECORD is for housekeeping services, domain ownership verification and other security protocols
  including SPF, DKIM and DMARC records (used for email security and spam reduction)

Happily, when we set up your web site, we set each needed DNS record for you automatically.
