What is a name server, what is a network domain, and how are the two related?
In: Technology
Name server converts domain names (reddit.com) to IP addresses (xx.xx.xx.xx) so your computer can communicate with it, it also allows content for one domain name to be hosted on multiple IP’s or have its IP change without everyone needing to remember a string of numbers.
Network domain is typically the internal domain name. In a work environment this may be the the companies name. A printer on this network/domain might be called ‘printer1.companyName’. In turn the internal name server would be able to resolve this to the IP of that printer.
