| The Domain Name System (Dns) is a decentralized and hierarchical organizational model for computers, servers, or other resources tied to the Internet and/or a private network. It associates different information with domain names given to each of the involved parties. In simple terms, it's the system that gives you the ability to look up an IP address, or find all the websites related to a domain name. The information associated with domain names and IP addresses are collectively called "IP addresses". Domain names are also commonly known as Top-Level Domain Names (TLDs), or can also be called Class C IP addresses. There are many benefits in using a service like an IP address lookup directory. An IP address is required to access certain websites, but it often doesn't identify the domain names which are actually pointing to those sites. This means that it is possible to conduct an online search and not know if you're actually looking at the right site or not. Another problem is that most online search engines do not support lookups on domain names, because they do not recognize them as being unique. Fortunately, you can use a process called a recursive resolver. A recursive resolver is a function that takes an IP address, look up the relevant website, and then extract the results. For example, if we're searching for information about a particular domain name using our IP address, then we might type "whois" into the browser followed by the IP address, then add "com" to the end of the command. Once we've added these two domain names to our command, we can run this command recursively. Recursive resolver functions use a series of IP address lookups to trace the corresponding domain names. The IP address belongs to one of these domain names, and once the command is run, the IP address of the resulting website will be displayed. This method is commonly used for checking the domain names against legal domain names. It is possible to carry out domain name lookups using other methods as well. One such method is to use the Internet's WHOIS program to find out information about domain names. WHOIS is the program that is used to register domain names on the Internet and it is free to use. Registered domain names are listed in a list and the IP address of the domain name is included with the name if it is available. If the domain owner finds his domain name on WHOIS, he can contact the registrar and ask for the details of his domain name and its current availability. However, there is a problem with this approach. WHOIS works through a list of names; even if someone finds his domain name on WHOIS, chances are that the same name will also be registered by another entity before he gets hold of it. So it is necessary to check manually before attempting to look up a domain name. Also, you must know that domain names that have already been registered and are not yet taken down may still appear on WHOIS even after they are taken down. Another way to check domain names is to check the servers of those domain names. A search for domain names using the WHOIS system will return server details such as IP address, name server address, or domain name server. The domain name server is responsible for returning a list of available domain names on a certain port. If the domain you are trying to access is on the whois server, it indicates that the domain is currently unavailable and may have to be accessed via an alternative method. Many people still try to find domain names by hand. But there is no need to do so because searching through the WHOIS system can give you more information than what you would get by hand. There are also many free tools and resources available online that you can use in order to find domain names. It is suggested that you gather all the information that you can in order to make this process easier. Some domain registrars offer domain name lookup tools that you can use; however, they may not have all the information that you need. Also, it is important to make sure that the domain name you are looking for matches the exact spelling of your business' name. |
