Internationalized domain names are stored in the Domain Name System as ASCII strings using Punycode transcription. [7] While a hostname may not contain other characters, such as the underscore character (_), other DNS names may contain the underscore.
ICANN approved the Internationalized domain name (IDNA) system, which maps Unicode strings used in application user interfaces into the valid DNS character set by an encoding called Punycode. For example, københavn.eu is mapped to xn--kbenhavn-54a.eu.
This list of Internet top-level domains (TLD) contains top-level domains, which are those domains in the DNS root zone of the Domain Name System of the Internet.A list of the top-level domains by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) is maintained at the Root Zone Database. [1]
A domain may have multiple TXT records associated with it, provided the DNS server implementation supports this. [1] Each record can in turn have one or more character strings. [2] Traditionally these text fields were used for a variety of non-standardised uses, such as a full company or organisation name, or the address of a host.
Dot-separated fully qualified domain names are the primarily used form for human-readable representations of a domain name. Dot-separated domain names are not used in the internal representation of labels in a DNS message [7] but are used to reference domains in some TXT records and can appear in resolver configurations, system hosts files, and URLs.
A Canonical Name (CNAME) record is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS) that maps one domain name (an alias) to another (the canonical name). [1]This can prove convenient when running multiple services (like an FTP server and a web server, each running on different ports) from a single IP address.
A DNS server - short for Domain Name System server - helps your web browser connect to the internet and load websites properly.
