| In this article I will explain to you how to create a domain name using an IP address. This domain name will be associated with the IP address of the server. In order to do this, you need to have a domain name that is resolved. To do that, you first have to forward an IP address to a DNS server. Then you can create a domain name by resolving the IP address. There are two standard queries that are used for resolving domain names. The first one is "who is this"? and the second one is "what is the domain name system address?" These are just two of the standard queries that can be used for resolving a domain name system. You may also use other standard queries like "reverse whois", "ip where in host header" etc. These queries will return results for the IP address. Domain Name System address is a part of DNS which resolves domain names into IP addresses. You can add or remove subnets in the DNS. If your company uses the standard DNS service provided by your Internet service provider, it only allows you to add or remove one subnet. If you want to get more control, you can try to modify the DNS to suit your needs, but it is not that easy to do. The DNS session 1 was established when your IP address was typed in the text box on the web page of your browser. Your IP address is then translated into numeric representation by the system and assigned to your virtual address. Your domain name appears as domain name in result of query. The IP address is then translated into IP address in the second part of the query. The IP address in the second part of the query may contain one or more subnets. In this part of the DNS session 2, the system looks up the IP address. If there is no matching IP address, the system fails and resends the first query. If the matching IP is still not found, the ressource eines resolver returns and sends another message to the client. The DNS server looks up the IP in the results of the query and returns a result to the client. All the DNS domain name servers are connected to one centralized database. This database stores all DNS records and updates them as they change. The DNS system verifies the accuracy of the data stored in this server before it sends the query to the DNS servers. The DNS servers check the accuracy of the data before they send the response back to the clients. If the DNS server cannot lookup the IP address, it returns an error message instead of sending the requested record back to the client. Every domain name that you type into the IP address search box will get a unique IP address from the DNS server. However, if you have registered your domain name with a different name, then this address may not be in the database. To resolve such an error, you can contact your web hosting provider. They usually have a webmasters' guide that provides information about the other names that are in their list of active DNS nameservers. In case you cannot find the IP address in your system, then you can ask your web hosting company to forward your query to their main server. If you have registered your domain name with any domain name provider, then they should provide you with the option of resetting the DNS of your domain name. This option will allow your domain name to use another IP address that is in their list. A lot of providers offer you this facility for free. |
