<indicator name="Configuring">[[File:~~Couk~~menu-globe.~~png~~svg\|link=:Category:Domains\|30px\|Back up to the Domains Category]]</indicator> Whilst internally the internet uses IP addresses, the way people interact with the internet uses names. We use names like www.aa.net.uk to get to a web site, or sales@aa.net.uk to send an email. These names are called host names or domain names (there is no practical difference between the terms). For a web site the first part after the http:// is the domain name, usually starting www. For email the domain name is the bit after the @. 2001:8b0::2020 2001:8b0::2021 We also have DoH and DoT servers. See: https://www.aa.net.uk/dns/ Customers may use third party DNS servers if they wish, you can also set DNS server IP addresses on the control pages which we will assign to your router when it connects. See: [[PPP DNS Addresses]] =Internet Facing DNS Servers= Once you have a domain you need to have authoritative DNS servers. These are servers which tell the rest of the world what information you have associated with the domain. For example, if you had example.com you might have decided that www.example.com would have an IP address of 10198.2051.30100.400. This means when anyone tried www.example.com in a web browser they would connect to IP address 10198.2051.30100.40 to get the web page. The DNS servers are what hold that information and tell any computer in the world the answer if they ask. The registry is who tells them which DNS servers to ask in the first place. ==DNS Management== We have two authoritative DNS servers called primary-dns.co.uk and secondary-dns.co.uk. If you have a DNS service from us you can edit the domain records using a web page on our control pages. There is more information on the control pages about the different types of record you can set up. =International Domain Names= We have two other services associated with domains: <ncl style=bullet maxdepth=1 headings=bullet headstart=2 showcats=1 showarts=0>Category:Domains</ncl> [[Category:Domains]]
