Domain Name System (DNS)

There are many ways to identify a person uniquely Eg:Passport,Aadhar no etc.

Similarly IP adress is used to identify a host/router uniquely.

Lets say I have my enterprise application server at an IP address. But the world knows it as "sup123.com".

How do I map this name with my IP address?

Thats the job of DNS.It is an application layer protocol to provide mapping between domain names and IP addresses.

Mapping

Manage DNS records:

Go to manage dns records section of you domain registrar's site.

Delete all default records.

Set up 4 records as shown above

Type A resolves to IPV4 address Type AAAA resolves to your IPV6 address

www, @ make it both available at w ww.xyz.com as well as xyz.com

You can refer your IP adresses from your vps/shared server's access details.

And your mapping will be done!!
