How do you maintain DNS records?
Domain name records are kept by authoritative DNS servers that are commonly hosted by the domain registrar. In addition to hosting the records, an authoritative DNS server is allowed to create, edit, and delete records for the domains delegated to it.
Can a domain point to multiple servers?
3 Answers. Yes, its perfectly normal and an often used scenario. Just configure your, for example, Apache server with the same virtual host(s) on both webservers. Remember that hostname/domain is a separate thing from IP address, so server A will have one IP, server B will have another.
How do I manage DNS?
Choose Start→Administrative Tools→Server Manager. Click the Server Roles, click the Add Roles link, and then follow the wizard instructions to add the DNS role. After you set up a DNS server, you can manage the DNS server from the DNS management console.
What type of DNS record is used for email servers?
mail exchange

Can we have same domain?
You can do a lot of things when you buy a domain name of your own. That is, once you own the main domain, like google.com, you can add any number of subdomains you want, and have them point to different websites. Alternatively, you can also have them point to the same website if that’s what you prefer.
What’s the difference between a DNS host and a registrar?
In a nutshell… Your DNS host is the service that is authoritative for hosting your DNS records. A domain registrar is where you purchase domain names. There are DNS hosting providers that offer domain registration and vice versa, but the two services should not be confused.
Do you need a DNS registrar to run a Commain?
Whenever you run a “whois” commain, or an online interface to the whois data, you’re actually querying the domain name registry. Most times, you won’t actually deal with a DNS registrar directly. Most people purchase their domain name through a Web Hosting Provider–we’ll talk more about them in a minute.
What happens when you transfer a domain to another registrar?
When you transfer a domain from one registrar to another, it’s important to consider how the transfer will impact the configuration of the Domain Name System (DNS) and how this may interrupt your domain services such as website and email. This article provides information on how to prepare DNS to minimize the impact of transferring a domain.
When does DNS stop working when transferring a domain?
If you use your current registrar’s nameservers it’s important to note that the nameservers and DNS will stop working shortly after your domain completes the transfer out. One exception may be if you have hosting with the same registrar. For clarification on these policies, please contact your current registrar.
