Brief Summary

This video provides an overview of the Domain Name System (DNS), explaining how domain names are structured, registered, and resolved to IP addresses. It covers top-level domains (TLDs), second-level domains, and the process of registering a domain. The video also explains how DNS servers work together to find the IP address associated with a domain name, including local DNS servers, root name servers, and TLD name servers.

  • Domain names are structured hierarchically, with top-level domains (TLDs) like .com and country-specific domains like .pk.
  • Domain registration involves contacting a registrar, who then registers the domain with the appropriate top-level registry.
  • DNS resolves domain names to IP addresses through a hierarchical system of servers, starting with local DNS servers and potentially querying root name servers.

Introduction to Domain Name System

The video introduces the Domain Name System (DNS) and its role in translating human-readable domain names into IP addresses that computers use to communicate. When a user enters a URL into a browser, the DNS system works behind the scenes to find the correct IP address for the website. The presenter explains that the domain name system is essential for accessing websites by translating domain names into IP addresses.

Understanding Domain Name Structure

The structure of a URL is explained, breaking it down into its components. A URL consists of several parts, including the top-level domain (TLD), second-level domain, and subdomains. Top-level domains (TLDs) are the suffixes like .com, .org, or country codes like .pk. The part before the TLD is the second-level domain, which is the name of the website. Subdomains, like "www" or other prefixes, can be added to further organize the website. The presenter uses "wn.com" as an example, identifying ".com" as the top-level domain and "wn" as the second-level domain.

Types of Top-Level Domains (TLDs)

The video describes different categories of top-level domains (TLDs), including generic TLDs like .com and country-specific TLDs. Generic TLDs are further divided into unrestricted TLDs, which anyone can register, and restricted TLDs, which require specific qualifications. Country-specific TLDs are associated with particular countries, such as .pk for Pakistan or .uk for the United Kingdom. The presenter also mentions internationalized domain names (IDNs), which allow the use of non-English characters in domain names.

Domain Registration Process

The process of registering a domain name is outlined, involving contacting a domain registrar. To register a domain, one must contact a domain registrar, which is a company that handles the registration process. The registrar collects the necessary information and registers the domain with the appropriate top-level registry. Once the registration is complete, the information is added to the DNS system, allowing the website to be accessed.

How DNS Resolves Domain Names to IP Addresses

The video explains how the Domain Name System (DNS) resolves domain names to IP addresses. When a user enters a domain name, the browser first checks its local cache for the IP address. If the IP address is not found locally, the browser queries the operating system's DNS resolver, which then queries a local DNS server. If the local DNS server does not have the IP address, it queries a root name server, which directs it to the appropriate top-level domain (TLD) name server. The TLD name server then provides the IP address of the authoritative name server for the domain, which finally provides the IP address of the website. The presenter details the steps involved in resolving a domain name to an IP address, starting from the local cache and progressing through various levels of DNS servers.

0:00 In this domain we will prepare the domain name system. Whenever we open a website, we type a URL in our browser. For example, we call it a domain or its length is 15. If we do that, then inside it we can divide it into parts. For example, wn.com or dotted lines or dots are called top level dominant domains. This country code to the president on wn.com is the top level domain.

0:47 And before this domain, we have a website web server so that the name of our website is the URL, we call it second level domain and then as we move ahead, like in this particular example, www, we have 322 manpower and server, we have to search for passport level, so we can get different benefits in 12 main and we start from the general level and want to reach the specific level, the way most channels have applied manpower. In zone.com like this then

1:33 we have the address of the website which is a problem in this case then after that we have more specific search Yadav Yashwant in this we need to understand that whoever is registered here and the quantity used this point then by subscribing to this level we can check it we can express the

2:19 top level romance category think we have generic provide like we have dot com cow this is we have general top love top level from the ground in these general top level we have some unrestricted above this everyone can register their website which if we want to register a website ABC dot com and it is available and there are some more for which we have to do if we want to open a new website then

3:08 definitely subscribe to our channel we have many provide for left hunter top investment general provide top investment we can put back country specific whose entries were posted in Reporter and it is configured to the President of those people, just like for Pakistan, the country code top level to me has a test.com which depends on the website, it is doing the development course of the bell, apart from this, dot we need appoint dot UK for Twitter dot AU, so we had those country specific top levels, the

3:57 last 10 international subscribers had that we used to use, we used to use English and the subscribers were allowed but now we can only use non-English characters as a domain name, just like for Pakistan, a domain name dot Pakistan in Urdu, when we write hey tomorrow paper center job lenge Pakistan element we have that too we can make a part of a domain and so it's not very commonly asked but for

4:44 future prospective candidates, when we want to post a website, then we have to register its domain, the process of domain registration is simple, let's salute her Bihar and we want to decide to register top level in the open web and this please Please comment subscribe web.com there are some companies which we

5:30 subscribe to so we contact the company that company will take all the information and then we will register this domain with the top level registry that what the top level registry will do is to register it and then add that information inside their system and when this information gets added inside the worker system then we will get access to it and we can post our website on this domain we have a protocol called domain name system and when we

6:16 open a website then behind it we have some protocols why we need this protocol because TCP IP protocol is network on IP address so if we search on any website then we should know its IP address non hair domain name system comes into play and what it does is that whenever we want to set any website on the next level then we turn on the gas that it can be seen in that browser that whether we have downloaded this website first or its IP address is available with us

7:01 If it is available then we will use it. If we do not get the IP address from there, then we will go to the operating system level and join the IPS. If we do not find that thing at the operating system level, then next we will return the real name server to it. And it is available in our ISP. Now if the IP address of that website is not available in our local domain name server and if it is not available in the alternate name server there as well, then we will have to search for this website on the top level domain name

7:50 server or the top level domain name server, but it is not necessary that our local phone number should be found. If that domain server has been recently pasted, then it will not have these crosses. If it does not have the address, then we have an international set of directories where people call it the root name server, there it will search for the main store manager of jatt.com, what is his address? We have fruit name servers, this international is back to thirteen root nerves now and we have round protein hunter written on them, so international we have decorated machines which basically work as root opportunity, from there we have the domain name server of dot com, we take its address,

8:38 now we will send a request to that server that we need the IP address of this website, if it is present with them, then the IP address of that server is on the head, we send this message torch light rest and then from there we will repair the IP address and after that IP address we will send a request to that IP address and there you will get the paste of the website you want to click on, if we do not get information on this PC domain name server, then we have the website not want to be deleted under our project, it will be visible and we are not always following this whole page, when we visit a website, the question of your project, its IPS comes and point

9:25 point and but browser How is an IP address used?
