2. Introduction
Through its website, Doteasy.com, Doteasy provides
web hosting and domain name services to individuals
and businesses of various sizes. Doteasy allows clients
to choose a new domain name or transfer an existing
domain from an earlier host.
3. About the DNS System
The domain name system, commonly known as the
DNS system, exists to ensure that each Internet web
server has its own address. These addresses technically
consist of a series of numbers, compiled in binary form
and expressed in the traditional 10-digit system for
users. Most IP addresses, as they are used, consist of
four numbers with dots between each, such as
“212.33.54.212.” Some newer computers and servers,
however, are beginning to use a six-number system to
increase the amount of possible combinations.
4. Conclusion
These series of numbers, however, can be difficult for
users to remember. To compensate, the DNS system
allows each server to choose an address that is
expressed in words. This address consists of a top-level
domain, such as “.com” or “.org,” while second-level
domains are the more unique and ideally more
memorable component. In the address “widgets.com,”
for example, “widgets” is the second-level domain.
While top-level domains are available based on the
type of organization using the name, the only
restriction on second-level domain is availability.
