Domain Names
Fundamental building block of any electronic
business.
New .com and .net registrations totaled nearly 8.1
million during the first quarter 2010, representing
an average of approximately 2.7 million new
domain name registrations per month. This
reflects a 10 percent increase in new
registrations from fourth quarter 2009, and a 10
percent increase from a year ago.
Every second a new domain name is added in the
dot com and dot net zones.

Domain Name System
The Domain Name System (abbreviated DNS) is an Internet directory service. DNS is
how domain names are translated into IP addresses, and DNS also controls email
delivery.
The DNS system consists of three components:
1.DNS data (called resource records),
2.Servers (called name servers), and
3.Internet protocols for fetching data from the servers
Paul Mockapetris and Jon Postel introduced DNS in 1984.

Domain Names
Make it easier for us humans – We Like Names, Computers
Like Numbers
Not unlike telephone books

IP Address Rules
FOUR OCTETS OF NUMBERS ie. 1.2.3.4
VALID RANGE FOR EACH OCTET is 0-255
EACH OCTET is separated by a dot. 0.123.4.255

WHAT THE HECK IS AN OCTET?
A BYTE is a character of information (remember?) –
only its represented in binary code – snooty
scientific talk for information represented by ones
and zeros.
A BYTE looks sort of like this “ 0001- 0111”
So suffice to say – if we filled up all eight of those
positions with 1s and 0s starting at 0000-0000
then to 0000-0001, then to 0000-0010, and finally
ending at 1111-1111 – we would be able to
represent 256 numbers – the numbers 0 to 255
Which explains why they are called Octets (eight ‘1s and 0s) and why the
range of numbers they represent is 0-256… I don’t know why they put
dots between them.
