Information about DNS and network

So I have been building website for some years now and I know how to basic DNS like setting up subdomains,mails etc. But I would like to know more about this. Something like how each record works? Difference between cname and a record. Why txt record spf and dkim etc. Can you guys share any book or course that I can use to learn more about this?

The domain is registered through Namecheap if that matters. My knowledge of all this is just enough to get a site working, I’m by no means an expert and welcome any and all advice. The keyword is free. This is a total non-profit job, so anything that costs money is not an option. We’re just talking HTTPS 301 redirects here, no need for future plans for elaborate hosting. The redirects are to Discord servers and appear as https://discord.gg/190283 or something similar.

I want to migrate my site from an uncooperative host which is also the domain name host. I have access to the dns records on the domain name host. Can I migrate the site, change the dns records, and then just cancel my hosting package with the old host? Is this the proper way?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering, so Reddit is always a good place to ask!

One of my clients owns multiple top-level domains, like company.org, company.io, etc..

Someone else owns .com and they are asking ridiculous price to transfer it.

Since the client is gonna fire up the new website soon, how important for business purpose can be to own the .com TLD?

Thanks!

I’ve searched to answers to this for a while, but still haven’t got a good answer.

We are trying to replace our old, old, old BIND servers with PowerDNS. I don’t want to import all zones since a lot of them are old and unused. When I use pdnsutil load-zone, it gets imported as native, but I want to change this to master or import it as master. Does anyone know how to do this or docs that could point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Thanks in advance.

Backstory: Aye, so I think like many people I found the best domain for my website the other day.

However, I decided to wait a couple days or so for non-related reasons.

​

However, I came back and the domain is taken.

​

TL;DR I know, I cannot reverse time but is there somebody I can pay to almost like “dibs” it for me in case they forget to renew? Love to get my revenge XD

​

Especially since many of the companies doing this seem to have allegations on reviewing WHOIS search history.

Note: Domain sniping sucks, as it can go basically forever without getting real use.

I have some battery issues recently with the 1.1.1.1 app and I had to disable it. I am looking for alternatives. Can I achieve the same function of using the app if I just update the Private DNS setting with 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com in my Android?
