What is the work of dedicated domain name servers?

A dedicated domain name server maintains a directory of domain names and their matching IP addresses. This translation enables other systems to locate and link with your system and eventually connect to your site. A central registry collects all domain names registered any where across the global internet space for the benefit of identification and subsequent redistribution at any required time. Computer networks across the world check in with this Central Registry on a regular basis to get updates about your domain and where to find your domain name or website. Computers would not know where to find your website or any other website without the information from a dedicated domain name server.

Don’t do it! You’re better off picking a name that at first glance has nothing to do with your business than one that the average person can’t say without stumbling over his tongue. The reason is simple: if you can’t say it you can’t remember it much less spell it when needed. And with the coming proliferation of new domain extensions both in Latin Script and Arabic, Cyrillic or whatever, the chances of someone misunderstanding a domain name will increase exponentially.

Dedicated domain name server hardware requirements

Dedicated domain name servers run for long periods without interruption making hardware reliability and durability extremely important. Although servers can be built from ordinary computer parts, dedicated domain name servers need to be built from specialized hardware with low failure rates in order to maximize up-time. The use of fast, high capacity hard drives and large computer fans or power supplies that ensure the servers continue to function in the event of a power failure should never be compromised. Hardware redundancy setup is highly advisable as this will ensure your system continues running even if one of the hardware happens to fail. Installing more than one instance of hard wares such as power supplies and hard disks will guarantee your system high up-time which is quite essential in the case of dedicated domain name servers. It is highly advisable to use memory devices which detect and correct errors as these will help in reducing system failures or data corruption.

Benefits of Having an Add On Domain

1) You can create several domains and web sites using the same web hosting account.
2) You can save money using a single hosting account instead of several accounts.
3) The add on domain shares the same resources with your main site, like disk space, bandwidth, etc.
4) The add on domain has its own independent FTP manager, site statistics and storage bins which are automatically posted.
5) You can upload different postings, pages, images and forums to your add on domain directory.
6) You can access your add on domain using various web site addresses.
7) Several sites can be promoted with just a single hosting account using different sets of keywords.

Creating An Add On Domain

1) Register your new add on domain with a domain name registrar.
2) Direct the domain name server (DNS) information of your new add on domain to the same DNS of your web host.
3) Give an allowance of 1 to 2 days for the DNS to flourish over the Internet before uploading files or documents.
4) Log in to your control panel or web hosting manager and move to the add on domains.
5) You need to fill in three fields, namely: the new domain name, the user name, and a password.
6) Click the ‘Add Domain’ button, and wait for a couple of minutes for the system to set-up an add on domain name.
7) When completed, you can already start uploading your index pages, images, and other relative information
