What is the Domain Name System?

Did you enjoy the previous workshop Introducing… Domains! ? If so, then you’ll enjoy this workshop, too! We’ll be continuing our discussions around domains, this time by taking a closer look at DNS - the Domain Name System.

Every site needs a domain. But every domain needs DNS records set for it to direct people to your site! In this workshop, we’ll be looking at how DNS work, and what the most common types of DNS records are. We’ll also look at the DNS records you need to configure to get your domain connected to your site. Some questions we’ll be answering include:

• How does the Domain Name System work?
• What are DNS records?
• What DNS records do I need for my site?
• Where can I edit my domain’s DNS records?
• What is “domain record propagation”?

This workshop will also have an open floor discussion about domains. So come prepared with your domain-related questions, and we’ll take time to answer those, too!

This session will be held in an APAC friendly time. If you cannot get to the live session, keep an eye out for the recording we’ll be publishing on wordpress.tv after the session is completed :-)
