2. Hostname - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname

   So, for example, both en.wikipedia.org and wikipedia.org are hostnames because they both have IP addresses assigned to them. A hostname may be a domain name if it is properly organized into the domain name system. A domain name may be a hostname if it has been assigned to an Internet host and associated with the host's IP address. [3]

3. List of Internet top-level domains - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level...

   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]

4. List of DNS record types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DNS_record_types

   Returns all records of all types known to the name server. If the name server does not have any information on the name, the request will be forwarded on. The records returned may not be complete. For example, if there is both an A and an MX for a name, but the name server has only the A record cached, only the A record will be returned.

5. Domain name - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name

   A generic domain is a name that defines a general category, rather than a specific or personal instance, for example, the name of an industry, rather than a company name. Some examples of generic names are books.com, music.com, and travel.info. Companies have created brands based on generic names, and such generic domain names may be valuable. [3]

6. Domain Name System - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System

   A glue record is a combination of the name server and IP address. For example, if the authoritative name server for example.org is ns1.example.org, a computer trying to resolve www.example.org first resolves ns1.example.org. As ns1 is contained in example.org, this requires resolving example.org first, which presents a circular dependency.

7. Fully qualified domain name - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fully_qualified_domain_name

   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.

8. CNAME record - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNAME_record

   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 .

9. hosts (file) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_(file)

   This example only contains entries for the loopback addresses of the system and their host names, a typical default content of the hosts file. The example illustrates that an IP address may have multiple host names (localhost and loopback), and that a host name may be mapped to both IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses, as shown on the first and second ...
