When you register a domain name the authority for management of that domain is delegated to you via an 'authoritative' DNS (normally at your ISP). The DNS identifiers are defined in the registration record for your domain (DNS names and IP addresses - usually two but can be more) and are maintained in one of a number of centralised DNS that every DNS is the world uses. When your local DNS looks for a name, say, www.mydomain.

Our main wireless product uses a proprietary protocol scheme which is not based on the standard 802.11b. This Device uses a mix of proprietary polling and authentication techniques that minimizes the risk of reading the wireless traffic over-the-air. Their is no off-the-shelf devices that can be used to sniff the packets while in the air like you can find on 802.11 wireless equipment.

Each of our servers have a specific domain name server and specific IP address. An example is ns1.hostvertex.com (64.21.83.67) and ns2.hostvertex.com (64.21.83.68). Please refer to your Welcome Email for your server info. If you can not locate it, drop us a support ticket.

This refers to the name server computers where the record of your domain name is held. This is needed to register a domain name and we supplies this for you unless otherwise specified. Generally we setup 2 Domain Server for your security.

DNS stands form Domain Name Server, which is a computer responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses. It also provides details of the mail server responsible for handling your domains email. DNS values are normally set to your ISP - if you're unsure what to do (or what any of this means), ask them - and they'll tell you what values to set. You can even create a sub-user account for your domain, so that your ISP can log in and change the details themselves.

Primary DNS: 196.25.1.1. Secondary DNS: 196.25.1.9. When setting up your dial-up connection, you need to specify your Primary Domain Name Server & Secondary Domain Name Server.

Imagine if you wanted to find a book in a library - you ask a librarian for assistance but he can't help you because he is too busy helping someone else. You would then go to another librarian and ask her for assistance because she is not so busy. You could consider the first librarian as a primary name server and the second librarian as a secondary name server.

Yes, we will. For each registration you need two different domain name system (DNS) servers. In order to receive any of HostedinCanada's services your domain must utilize our DNS. Your registered domain name will automatically default to our DNS.

To improve reliability, DNS service for a domain is typically provided by multiple DNS servers: one primary DNS server and one or more secondary DNS servers. The difference between primary and secondary DNS is one of administration. The administrator of the primary DNS controls what names exist in the domain by configuring the DNS resource records for the domain, while the secondary DNS server(s) copy the domain's records from the primary server via an automated process known as a zone transfer.

A primary confluence is one that meets the primary goals of the project, that is, it is on (or close to) land, and not ruled out by the "Poles Problem" restrictions. Check out "What is a primary confluence" above for more details on this. A confluence that is on (or close to) land, but ruled out by the Poles rule is called secondary. Confluence points of this type will be accepted if visited but are not part of the primary goals of the project.

A.) RSH Web Services actually has three name servers. Although for registering or transferring domains ending in .com .net .org and 95% of all other domain names only two are needed

The public time server utilize the Network Time Protocol to adjust the system clock on your computer and keep it synchronized with external sources of time. Only servers / workstations which has the shutdown software installed and running can be configured as a primary or secondary time server of USHA. Therefore, user can not use the public time server as the primary or secondary time server of USHA.

An MX record pointing to the host name of the backup ('secondary') mail server, and an A record defining the IP address of the host name of the backup ('secondary') mail server must be added to the DNS for the domain name. The priority of the MX record for the secondary should be lower (i.e. numerically higher) than the priority for the primary MX record.

All DNS is designed for, is to map IP numbers to domain names. As far as DNS is concerned, you can map multiple domain names to the same IP number. It is up to the web server running on that IP number to distinguish requests for different domain names. This feature, often referred to as virtual hosting, is supported by most modern webservers. For example, if you’re running Apache, you can find documentation on how to do virtual hosting at this page (for Apache 2.0), or here (for Apache 1.

Yes, we do. For each domain name, we charge $25 one-time setup fee and $50 for one year secondary name server service fee. Yes, you can. You need to set up an IP number for each of your virtual Web sites (www.company.com). Using our URL forwarding service, we can map www.company.com to the IP number and broadcast it to the whole Internet. It works just as if you have your own name servers.

Primary drug of abuse is the drug type that caused the most dysfunction, and secondary drug is the drug type (if any) that has resulted in a lesser degree of dysfunction than the primary drug of abuse. The drugs of abuse categories are alcohol, marijuana/hashish, cocaine/crack, opiates, amphetamines, sedatives, inhalants, hallucinogens, over-the-counter drugs, and others.

In the Control Panel, on the View Page, click 'Advanced'. On that screen you should see a 'Make Slave Zone' link. Clicking on this link will disable the regular control panel, and will allow you to enter the IP address of the master server.

Yes, DrakNet has it's primary DNS servers at the NOC where we host, and secondary DNS servers at a second NOC to insure that should something happen, web sites will stay up and functioning for all shared accounts. Dedicated servers can purchase offsite secondary DNS from us for $30 per server.

No, the customer is ultimately responsible for managing their own DNS. Hostway recommends DNS management through a third-party provider such as ZoneEdit.com.
