Learn how DNS (Domain Name System) works and why it’s essential for your website. This guide explains DNS records, how they function, and how Tenovate helps manage them efficiently.
What is DNS?
DNS (Domain Name System) is like the phonebook of the internet. It translates human-readable domain names (e.g., yourbusiness.tz) into IP addresses that computers understand, allowing users to access websites easily.
How DNS Works
-
User Enters a Website Address
- A visitor types yourbusiness.tz in their browser.
-
DNS Translates the Domain
- The DNS system finds the matching IP address for yourbusiness.tz (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
-
Website Loads
- The browser connects to the correct server, and the website appears instantly.
Key DNS Records You Should Know
- A Record: Links a domain to an IP address.
- CNAME Record: Redirects one domain to another (e.g., www.yourbusiness.tz → yourbusiness.tz).
- MX Record: Directs email traffic to the right mail server.
- TXT Record: Used for security, email verification, and domain authentication.
