View CartThe Wild Card DNS
Last Updated on Saturday, 23 February 2013 02:09 Written by Naveed Ashraf Thursday, 28 February 2013 12:00
Remember that the DNS is a protocol (known as the TCP/IP protocol suite) refers to exchange of data over Internet among computers, and on many private networks. It has set of standards. Basically DNS protocol converts a user-friendly domain name (like arvixe.com) into an Internet Protocol (IP) address like 108.175.146.148 so the computers can identify each other over network. Normally in share hosting environment, a single IP address use to serve various domains. In many cases you might need to have sub domains like support.domain.com. While it serve domain owners on various way, user also can directly go to this domain’s website instead of using a link at main domain.com. What about if someone type a sub-domain that is not present at your domain for example suport.domain.com (mistakenly type suport instead of support). The wild card DNS helps to catch this sort of mistakes.

We all know the importance of testing your site after a migration to your hosting account. More often than not we wish to do this prior to updating the domain’s DNS nameservers to Arvixe. We have a few options that allow us to do this – via the control panel, as well as by modifying your local PC’s hosts file.
Both cPanel and Website Panel provide temporary URLs via the hostname.

Hello,
I’ve been reading a couple of articles here at Arvixe about DNS, but none of them explains what DNS actually is. I’ve worked with lots of things related to DNS, but if I had been asked like a week ago for a correct definition of DNS, I wouldn’t have had it. Today, I will provide you with the knowledge I have acquired, so you can understand what DNS actually is.
DNS, stands for Domain Name System. What it does, is to convert, whenever you type a domain name in your browser, to its IP address. In an easier to understand example:

Hello fellow hosters! In response to a comment left on my most recent article (Making DNS Record Changes in cPanel), I decided to blog about how to change DNS zones in an ASP hosting environment. Specifically, using Arvixe’s WebsitePanel. This is a quick and easy procedure, but PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Changing DNS records can cause all kinds of havoc if done improperly. I’ll repeat what was said last time:
ATTENTION: Do not attempt to modify these fields unless you are absolutely sure what you are doing! This tutorial will provide a bit of background on each type of record, but is not for beginners. Please contact Arvixe support if you are not 100% comfortable with these actions and their consequences.
The bold text means it’s serious! Okay now that the disclaimer is out of the way, let’s move forward to navigating the user interface to find the controls.
