Domain names (tld). domain name servers: the basics

January 21st, 2012 Seo blog in Seattle 1 comment

Technically, Domain names aren’t necessary to access a website. This is because with or without them, all websites can be accessed by their corresponding IP address. What is an IP address? It is a 32-bit numerical identifier that indicates what machine a website is on. The only problem is that for a human these numbers, (which come in a series of 4 octets), can be extremely hard to remember. This is why Domain names were created. With a domain name a person can access a website through a word or phrase, which offers much more convenience than decimated octets.

It will also correspond with other domain name services to see if they have ‘knowledge’ of the IP address. This process is known as a distributed database, since no ‘official’ entity is responsible for updating information on other domain name servers.
